arliemaria Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 My son is currently working on a wind turbine project. Not quite sure what it will look like when it is finished. He has been drawing diagrams of different styles of wind energy systems. I'd like to find a variety of articles about wind energy and try to read him maybe one a day that we could then discuss. He would like to visit a large wind turbine and also see Block Island in Rhode Island's offshore turbines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausmumof3 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 How old is he? I just finished reading "the boy who harnessed the wind".there are several different versions for different reader levels and it's an awesome story. It might be a good read to go along with your study. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arliemaria Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 He is 7.5, but working at an advanced level in science. We have read the picture book and watched a few TEDTalks about this man a year or so ago. I didn't realize there were other levels of this book. Off to google. Today we watched a TEDTalk about a different kind of wind power: He then gave me a narration and drew a diagram of one of their prototypes.

EndOfOrdinary Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thames and Kosmos has a kit where you build a working wind turbine. You might want to check it out. It's pretty neat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
