education Wind Energy Curriculum for K-12 Through the organization of the National Energy Education Development Project (NEED Project) and in cooperation with the American Wind Energy Association, we are pleased to provide “Wind Energy Curriculum” for Kindergarten through the 12th grade. The material has been developed and organized into four separate grade levels to ensure that the information is appropriate for each age group in K-12. Included in the material is background information and hands-on activities to explore motion, weather, the history of wind, and modern wind technology.
The primary Wind Is Energy Kit (Grades K–1) has a Teacher Guide, student information in a storybook format, and suggested hands-on activities, with pinwheels, bubbles, a mini wind turbine, and a fan.
The elementary Wonders Of Wind Kit (Grades 2–3) comes with Teacher Guide, class set of Student Guides, and equipment to conduct hands-on experiments, including pinwheels, bubbles, materials to construct pinwheels and wind indicators, a mini wind turbine, and fan.
The intermediate Energy From The Wind Kit (Grades 4–6) comes with Teacher Guide, class set of Student Guides, and equipment to conduct hands-on experiments, including a KidWind Turbine, a Genecon, a wind gauge, materials to construct anemometers and wind indicators, materials to explore convection, a fan, and more.
The secondary Exploring Wind Energy Kit (Grades 7–12) comes with Teacher Guide, class set of Student Guides, and equipment to conduct hands-on experiments, including KidWind Turbines, a Genecon, a wind gauge, a fan, multimeters, materials to construct anemometers, and more.
KidWind Project The KidWind Project is collaborating with NEED on the wind curriculum and KidWind Turbines are included in the Energy from the Wind and Exploring Wind Energy Kits. For more information on these turbines and other wind resources visit the KidWind website.
