Description
In this S.T.E.M project we will be learning about wind energy and how it is generated. The informational slides are an easy 15 minute lesson to teach the students on the power of harnessing renewable clean energy and its positive effects on the environment. After the lesson students have to create a Tornado in a bottle. The activity, instructions and material are listed in the slides. They are given a worksheet to write their observations. This is a fun experiment to get the kids involved in discovering renewable energy without it feeling like work!

Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants or animals (including humans) and the places they live. Examples of relationships could include that deer eat buds and leaves, therefore, they usually live in forested areas; and, grasses need sunlight so they often grow in meadows. Plants, animals, and their surroundings make up a system.
