Create⁢ a Windmill for a school project is a fun and educational activity that allows students to learn about renewable energy ​ and put your manual skills into practice. In this article, we will guide you Step by Step so you can build your own windmill in a simple and effective way.

Necessary materials

Before you begin, make sure you have all the materials necessary:

• cardboard or cardboard
• Wooden sticks or straws
• Scissors
• Glue
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Thumbtack or pin
• Beads or buttons (optional)

Step by step to build the windmill

1. Draw a square of 20 cm x 20 cm on the cardboard or cardboard.
2. Trace the ‍ diagonals of the square from each corner to the center, stopping about 5 cm from the center point.
3. Cut along the diagonal lines drawn, without reaching the center.
4. Fold the alternate points of the square towards the center, forming the quotation marks of the mill.
5. Secure the blades with a thumbtack or pin in the center, going through all the bent tips and allowing them to rotate freely.
6. Take the wooden stick or straw at the back of the windmill, just behind the thumbtack or pin.
7. Optional: decorate the blades with accounts or buttons to give it a colorful⁢ and personalized touch.

Additional tips

• Make sure the blades are fine‌ balanced so that the mill rotates evenly.
• You can experiment with different sizes and shapes of blades to see how it affects the performance of the mill.
• If you want your mill to be more resistant, you can use materials such as cardboard instead of cardboard.

Once you have finished your windmill, you can put it to the test by blowing or placing it in front of a fan. Observe how the blades rotate and take advantage of the energy of the wind to convert it into movement.

Creating a windmill for school is not only a fun activity, but it also helps students understand the basic principles ⁣ of wind energy and how it can be used to generate electricity sustainably. In addition, it encourages creativity, manual dexterity and critical thinking.

We hope this article has been useful to you and encourages you to build your own windmill. Have fun learning about the renewable energy while you put your manual skills into practice!
