Wind-Powered Pinwheel Challenge

Wind-Powered Pinwheel Challenge. In this worksheet, you will explore the science of wind and its effects while taking on an engineering challenge. Your task is to design and create two different types of pinwheels using various materials and shapes. Once your pinwheels are ready, you'll test them in front of a fan or in a breezy area to see how they perform. After testing, you will analyze your observations to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each pinwheel design. This activity will help you understand how different designs can affect how well objects perform in the wind.
