Wind Energy Basics The Kidwind Project

Energy 101: Wind Power (A must see – tells what the wind is and why it blows) Wind Power – NOVA PBS (A must see – shows you what is inside a wind turbine and some examples of working turbines) Wind Power – Discovery Channel (optional. Much longer. Shows how the process of engineering more improved turbines might work. Some classes will watch and others will not) DTE Energy Wind Video
