In this lesson, students explore the work of engineers, learn about wind energy, and create a model of a windmill.
Step 1 - Inquire: Students learn what engineers do through an engineering challenge and activate background knowledge about energy.
Step 2 - Investigate: Students learn how William Kamkwamba engineered wind energy to help his community in Malawi and investigate how wind can be transformed into energy that we can use in our homes.
Step 3 - Inspire: Students experiment with shape and form to create a model of a windmill.
