Seventh graders in Mr. Frederick’s Project Lead the Way flight/space electrical engineering class at Accompsett Middle School are creating and testing their own windmills. The students are finishing their unit on energy and the environment and are focusing their lessons on alternative forms of energy. Their recent project has them building their own windmills during class. The students decide how many blades to use and adjust the pitch of the blades to maximize the energy. When they are complete, the students will test their windmills and measure how much energy each device outputs.
