Description

CPO Science features complete, coordinated active learning core curriculum programs rich in STEM connections and aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). With the Wind Turbine, students will explore concepts in engineering design, energy transformation, electromagnetism, and forces. Students will design, test, and refine a working turbine and challenge each other to see which model can generate the highest voltage with this unique equipment module. Students will investigate design variables such as: number of blades, blade shape, blade angle, number of magnets, magnet polarity, distance from magnets to core, and more!

STEM concepts covered in Wind Turbine include acceleration, blade mass, blade shape, constraints, criteria, electric current, electricity, electromagnetic, induction, engineering design, force, human, environmental impact, inertia, kinetic energy, magnetic braking, magnetism, wind farm simulation, and wind power.

• CPO Science Link engages students and boosts understanding of key concepts with hands-on science and engineering investigations and innovative digital learning experiences
• All modules consist of investigations and teacher's guide, hands-on equipment, tablet-enabled learning, and online multimedia content with whiteboard resources
• Program for middle school or high school accommodates differentiated instruction and can be used to enhance any existing traditional or alternative curriculum
• Concepts covered meet STEM, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and Common Core State Standards Initiatives
• Wind Turbine addresses MS-PS2-2, MS-PS2-5, MS-PS3-5, MS-ETS1-1, MS-ETS1-2, HS-PS2-1, HS-PS2-5, HS-PS3-1, HS-PS3-3, HS-PS3-5, HS-ETS1-3, and HS-ETS1-4 for NGSS performance expectations
