The teacher-designed project described on this Google Site can be used to introduce students to the engineering design process while they learn about energy. The lesson begins with inviting students to play the role of engineers that are asked to design and build a model wind turbine for a specified location in California. All project documents are editable and could be modified for local interests for the students. The project resources include ideas for scaffolding each phase of the design process to support all learners and assessment resources.
