What Makes a Fast Boat?
This activity can be used to explore the relationship between shape and hydrodynamics (resistance).
Curriculum links include aerodynamics, resistance, forces, buoyancy and thrust. There are a number of useful links to...
Wind Tunnel Testing
In this activity, students explore the requirements of aerodynamic design through testing simple shapes in a wind tunnel and explain the link between the test results from a wind tunnel and air resistance. The activity focuses on students acquiring an understanding of...
Wind Turbine Role Play
There is much debate about reducing greenhouse gases and how renewable energy sources might form part of the answer. Most people agree that renewable energy is a good thing, but how do people react when a wind farm is proposed to be built near them? The following...
