How can the energy in wind be harnessed to produce electricity?
Wind power is a clean, green, renewable energy resource. But how do wind turbines convert air into electricity? Find out in this Science Museum animation with accompanying worksheet containing language support exercises.
Type: Animation, Teachers Presentations
This presentation produced in association with the Science Museum shows a wind turbine in action. It shows how the air that flows over the blades drives mechanisms which interact to power a generator.
Type: general lesson plan
Students label a diagram of a wind turbine before watching the animation to check their answers. A gap-fill and sentence-ordering exercise consolidate vocabulary and knowledge learnt. Detailed teacher's notes provide step-by-step guidance on how to get the most out of the animation, including group work and whole class activities.
