This workstation introduces students to the principles of the power generating
windmill. It leads them through a series of hands-on activities to assemble a
windmill power generator, connect it to a power inverter and wire the inverter to
an electrical service panel.


Curriculum
Curriculum manual is provided in a threering binder, with pages contained in page protectors. Easy to follow step by step activities are highlighted using full color
