2 Resources Video to get them interested http://www.thefutureschannel.com/dockets/science_technology/wind_farming/ http://www.thefutureschannel.com/dockets/science_technology/wind_farming/ Middle School friendly Kid Wind Project Wind Power Curves http://www.kidwind.or g/PDFs/LESSON_windp owercurves.pdf http://www.kidwind.or g/PDFs/LESSON_windp owercurves.pdf High School friendly Kid Wind Project How to Collect & Analyze Local Wind Data http://www.kidwind.or g/PDFs/LESSON_localwi nddata.pdf http://www.kidwind.or g/PDFs/LESSON_localwi nddata.pdf

3 Graphing data collected from SKYSTREAM 3.7 Standards taught – 6.M.5.1.1 Read and interpret tables, charts, and graphs, including broken line graphs, bar graphs, frequency tables, line plots, and circle graphs. – 6.M.5.2.1 Collect, organize, and display the data with appropriate notation in tables, charts, and graphs, including broken line graphs, bar graphs, frequency tables and line plots. – 6.M.5.1.2 Explain and justify stated conclusions drawn from tables, charts, and graphs – 6.M.5.3.1 Find measures of central tendency – mean, median, and mode – with simple sets of data.

4 From the KidWind Project “Wind Power Curves” – Wind Power Curves in a Nutshell P. 5-6, Wind Power Curve Analysis P. 11, Answer Key P. 13 Using the SKYSTREAM 3.7 Narrow down data collected from the SKYSTREAM 3.7 for the students to find average power out – then create their own wind power curve – wind data 1.csv wind data 1.csv – Data to make a wind power curve(1).xlsx Data to make a wind power curve(1).xlsx – wind power curves project scoring rubric.docx wind power curves project scoring rubric.docx Discuss their graphs using some of the questions from the Analysis worksheet – questions they might have as a group

5 Using swept area to calculate power created at designated wind speeds Standards taught – 6.M.2.1.4 Given the formulas, find the area of circles – 6.M.3.1.1 Discuss the meaning and use of variables in simple expressions and equations – 6.M.3.2.2 Evaluate simple algebraic expressions using substitution.

6 Calculation of Wind Power Power in the Wind = 1/2pAV³ – Effect of air density, p - 1.225 – Effect of swept area, A – students figure d = 3.72m – Effect of wind speed, V – different wind speeds – Swept Area: A=∏r² Area of the circle swept by the motor (m²) – Have students try to find the power in the wind with some of the wind speeds off of their spreadsheet
