Year 4 made a fantastic start to their STEM projects today, carefully drawing and labelling their own wind turbine designs!

We first made a prototype, to help us to visualise what barriers we may face in building a working model. Take a look …

Our prototype had some difficulty standing on its own, turning at speed and turning in the wind. This led to lots of discussion about improvements we could make when we build our models.

Mr Williams then shared with us a tool he had used before, that could turn wind into enough electrical energy to power a buzzer or a bulb …

We are very excited to be able to use this to generate our own renewable energy next time!

Well done, Y4!
