Key Attributes

Build and Test Working Wind Turbines

The KidWind Basic Wind Experiment Kit lets students design, build, and refine their own working wind turbines. Using interchangeable parts, learners can test variables like blade shape, size, pitch, and number to discover how each affects power output—turning renewable energy theory into real, hands-on engineering practice.

STEM-Aligned, Inquiry-Based Learning

This kit supports NGSS-aligned investigations into energy conversion, mechanical design, and electrical generation. Students explore concepts like aerodynamics, torque, and load resistance through guided experiments or open-ended engineering challenges.

Durable Components for Repeated Use

Each kit includes a sturdy wind turbine base, interchangeable blade hubs, dowels, and generator components that withstand frequent classroom use. Designed for quick assembly and disassembly, the kit makes it easy to reset for multiple groups or extended project cycles.

Compatible with Vernier Energy Sensors and Classroom Packs

The Basic Wind Experiment Kit works seamlessly with Vernier Go Direct® Energy Sensors and Vernier Resistor Boards for real-time measurement of voltage, current, and power. It can be used as a standalone learning tool or integrated into the Wind Energy Explorations Go Direct® Package for a complete renewable energy lab experience.
