Partners, Engineering the Future<\/a>, \u00a0have shared with us support materials which could be used in conjunction with the STEM Central Renewables<\/a> context for learning. It could relate to the Wind, wave and tidal power learning journey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The project is built into an\u00a0third level\u00a0Energy Unit. It could be used to build on the learners’ prior learning around energy resources, \u00a0from the finite stocks of fossil fuels, through climate-change implications, to the availability of \u2018alternative\u2019 energy sources. Discussion of these topics can be used to focus on one example, a wind turbine, eventually to be investigated.<\/p>\n

The materials indicate how to\u00a0 build a model wind turbine from a part-assembled kit and measure the power output. Learners could research issues around energy supply and demand, and the role of wind power in meeting our energy needs.<\/p>\n
