What Do I Need for My Classroom?
For elementary school wind energy explorations, we recommend the following setup for each student group of 2–5 students.
Elementary School Renewable Energy with KidWind
Introduce science and technology in your classroom with hands-on activities that engage elementary students in exploring pushes and pulls, wind and weather, and electricity in fun, meaningful ways.
Each Student Group (2–5 students)
A. 1 Investigating Wind Energy Go Direct® Package
- 1 Go Direct Energy
- 1 Vernier Resistor Board
- 1 KidWind MINI Wind Turbine with Blade Design
B. 1 Device with Vernier Graphical Analysis®
C. 1 Fan, 12 inches or larger (not sold by Vernier)
Simplify Group Work with the Investigating Wind Energy with Go Direct Package
Designed for one group of 2–5 students, the Investigating Wind Energy with Go Direct Package includes all the Vernier tools you need to explore wind energy in the classroom—you just provide the fans. Need to mix and match? Our team can help you find the right fit.
Each package includes materials to support one student group:
- 1 Go Direct Energy Sensor
- 1 Vernier Resistor Board
- 1 KidWind MINI Wind Turbine with Blade Design
- 1 MINI Turbine Tower
- 1 Pitch Protractor
- Blade Consumables
Engaging Wind Energy Experiments for Elementary Students
The Investigating Wind Energy lab book contains 10 hands-on experiments and a culminating wind energy engineering project. Topics covered include energy transfer; basic electric circuits; and the effect of blade variables such as pitch, shape, quantity, mass, and material.
Software for Renewable Energy
Collect, Graph, and Analyze Data in Real Time
Help students form critical connections between abstract scientific ideas and the real world. With the Vernier Graphical Analysis® app, students can visualize and interact with voltage, current, power, and energy output from renewable energy experiments.
