Find the best pinwheel design

Wind energy is generated by wind turbines. These machines may look like giant spinners and their job is to convert wind energy into mechanical or electrical energy. Believe it or not, the wind turbines we use today are based on designs that are over 4,000 years old! In this project, we will study various turbine designs and learn about the factors that can improve their performance. We will distinguish between the features of movement in different types of turbines. Subsections of the Model Curriculum Learning objectives 5.1 Forces and motion 1.5.1.1 give examples of movements of various bodies

Ears: Do design, size and shape matter?

About Course Have you ever been puzzled by a faint noise nearby, trying to figure out what it is? Maybe you have turned your head or put your hand behind your ear, hoping to hear the sound better. What if we could make that bowl huge? After all, some animals with exceptional hearing have big ears, like the serval (a type of wildcat) that can hear a mouse crawling underneath. On this project, you will develop and test your latest hearing aid by studying the ears of animals, looking for clues about what helps improve hearing.
