Product Description

Video and lesson investigations on the topic of wind and energy. Key concepts include:

  • Model windmills can be made to move like real windmills.
  • Sails make use of energy from moving air.
  • Some sails turn round or spin and are linked to moving machinery.
  • Others are fixed to objects that move along themselves.
  • The force of wind can be utilised to provide power for machines.
  • Making models is a good way of demonstrating the properties of air moving. Sails can be made in many different forms.
  • They need control devices to be efficient.
  • Sails on windmills work different to those on yachts.
  • A boat made of relatively heavy materials would not move if its sails were very small.
  • By using bigger and more sails, more of the wind force is captured, to the point where the boat would move.
