Students will explore the properties of electricity and energy through the creation of circuit designs. Students will explore circuits using TinkerCAD with the support of their teacher. Using TinkerCAD, the teacher will introduce a design challenge that requires students to create a circuit as it might be used with a wind turbine.

Students will begin by completing the following tutorial in TinkerCAD:

• https://www.tinkercad.com/learn/circuits

  • Students should complete the following sections:

    • Simulating Circuits

    • Editing Components

Once the tutorial is completed, students should work on the following design challenge:

• Create a simple circuit that demonstrates how a savonius turbine might power an object of your choosing.
