German Wind Farm Pinwheel
Germany has the largest number of wind farms in the world. Wind farms consist of many wind turbines that spin in the wind to generate power for electricity. Try this easy pinwheel to introduce your kids to wind farms, wind turbines and the concept of renewable energy!
What you'll need:
- A piece of construction paper
- Scissors
- Pencil with full eraser at the end
- Push pin
Preparation
- Cut your paper into a square (if your paper is 9 x 12 inches, your square should be 9 x 9 inches).
- Fold your square in half on both diagonals and crease. Reopen your piece of paper. The creases will make an X.
- Cut along each diagonal crease up to about half an inch from the center.
- Fold the right corner of each triangle to the center and attach with pushpin to the eraser of a pencil.
- Blow into the pinwheel to watch it spin!
