This module has almost sold out...KIDWIND WINDWISE WINDMILLS MODULE #3 (2ND EDITION)
Windmills are the ancestors of modern wind turbines. To understand how wind turbines work one must first understand a windmill. The materials in this kit will help students build a windmill and explore how these devices capture the energy of the wind and convert it into usable mechanical energy (to lift weights).
