Lantern Moon: Doing research on wind turbines in primary school with simple experiments

Mona Goudarzi is a mechanical engineer. In this unit she presents exciting questions and experiments on wind turbines for primary students and explains how wind is turned into energy.

This unit is taken of the brochure "Latern Moon and Hot Ears". Science teachers from Austria, Germany and Italy worked out nine biographical texts for primary school students about contemporary scientists and engineers.

The texts tell how they started out in their professions and sometimes which curious experiences were linked to it. Each chapter includes fun and easy experiments and proposals for projects, such as making a rotating LED disc or a walnut candle.
