STELR Wind Turbine Investigations • This series of videos show investigations using STELR wind energy kits. They are designed for remote learning and home schooling. Students do not need access to the equipment. Lee Constable does the experiments. Students analyse the results at home by completing worksheets. These can be submitted to teachers. • Data sets from each investigation are provided. Students watch the videos and complete worksheets. Worksheets, including the relevant data sets, are available by contacting [email protected] • If you want to transform the energy in wind into electricity, you want machines that do this as efficiently as possible – at least, within your cost limits. • There are many factors that contribute to the efficiency of wind turbines, such as the materials used and the height of the towers. You can test some factors with the STELR wind turbine. The video investigations test: • 1. What is the best angle for the turbine blades? (this video) • 2. What is the best number of blades to have on your turbine? • 3. What is the best length of blade to use? • STELR is a ready-to-use STEM resource that: • Is hands-on, inquiry-based, and in-curriculum. • Shows students that science and maths are relevant to their lives. • Increases student enthusiasm for and engagement with Science, Technology, • Engineering Maths (STEM) subjects. • Provides career profiles which highlight the study pathways necessary for jobs in STEM-related industries. • Find more STELR investigations and order STELR equipment kits at https://stelr.org.au/ • STELR has produced more than 20 curriculum modules comprising over 280 lessons, 100 hands-on activities, 30 career profile videos and 80 written career profiles. Many modules are supported by kits of Australian-designed and manufactured equipment to facilitate inquiry-based, hands-on, minds-on, problem-based learning. • STELR (Science and Technology Education Leveraging Relevance) is a national initiative of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering. • The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering is a Learned Academy of independent experts helping Australians understand and use technology to solve complex problems. We provide impartial, practical, evidence-based advice on how to achieve sustainable solutions and advance prosperity. • There are currently almost 900 Fellows, drawn from academia, industry, government and research organisations. They include Chief Scientists, CEOs, Vice-Chancellors and heads of research institutes. • ATSE’s key school education program is STELR, which assists the teaching of science, mathematics, engineering and technology in Australian schools. STELR uses inquiry-based practical classroom activities connected to contexts relevant to secondary school students. • These videos were made with the generous support of Orica.
