The aim of this lesson is to introduce 5 to 7 year old pupils to the power of wind and water and how their energy can be harnessed to make electricity.
In this very practical lesson, pupils will think about the qualities of wind and water. Then, the class will make paper windmills that demonstrate how the wind can drive the ‘sails’ and power a turbine.
Finally, they will make a water turbine, which will turn using water poured from a watering can.
