Wind Turbine Construction Test

Help the hospital ward’s design team test a model wind turbine. Read each question carefully. For building tasks, use classroom materials only and follow your teacher’s safety directions.

Meet the turbine

Answer these questions using what you know about wind turbines.

1.Which turbine part is pushed by the wind and begins to turn?
  • Base
  • Blades
  • Tower
  • Generator
2.What is the job of the tower?
3.Layla says the blades make electricity all by themselves. Is she correct? Explain what the generator does.

Follow the energy

A turbine changes the movement energy of wind into electrical energy. The steps below describe the process.

4.Put these events in the correct order by writing 1–4: electricity is sent along wires; wind pushes the blades; the generator produces electricity; turning parts transfer movement to the generator.
5.Tahnee tests a model turbine in still air. What would most likely happen, and why?
6.A team tests the same model in two places. At Site A, a wind meter reads 8 km/h. At Site B, it reads 18 km/h. Which site is more likely to make the model blades turn faster? Give a reason.

Build and test safely

A small model can help a team investigate how wind affects motion. Never climb or go near a real turbine.

7.Choose the safest set of equipment for an adult doing supervised construction work with tools.
  • Safety glasses, suitable gloves and a hard hat when required
  • Thongs and loose sleeves
  • Bare feet and no eye protection
  • A scarf wrapped near moving parts
8.Which location is generally a better starting point for a wind farm, if it has open space and suitable environmental approvals?
  • A sheltered cave
  • An exposed, consistently windy site
  • A dense forest with little airflow
  • An underground tunnel
9.Write one fair-test rule for comparing two model turbine designs.
10.Sketch a simple model wind turbine and label its blades, tower and base. Add an arrow to show the wind direction.
11.Give one safety rule for testing a small turbine model with a fan.
