The whole class is at the edge of their seats – staring – as turbine blades tremble, gain speed, and start to whirl! Gears are spinning faster and faster as the cylinder pulls in water, then pushes it out. It’s working – you’re pumping water! You try different blade designs, gear ratios, isolate variables, and raid the recycle bin for blade materials. With each new design, your understanding grows. Challenges and optional labs push your designs to new heights. Get pumped for alternative energy with the Wind Pump!

This educational product pairs well with our The Power of the Wind Curriculum and is suitable for all ages, however youth 12 and under may require adult supervision.

The Maker Tool Set is helpful in completing activities from this kit!
