5 Simple Wind Energy Activities For Kids & Fun DIY Anemometer. Your kids will love these simple wind energy activities and this diy anemometer. Also, look at Middle School Hands-on Science : Extreme Winds + Free Minibook for another activity. Simple wind energy experiments are super STEM projects for kids of all ages to learn about engineering, problem-solving, alternative forms of power, and so much more. I have a diy anemometer tutorial for you using simple items.

Explore the power of the sun's heat by blowing up a balloon on a bottle! Kids paint one soda bottle white and the other black. Once dry, they attach a small balloon to the necks of their bottles. Then, they put the bottles out in the sun for a solar reaction! Kids see that the air in the black bottle will make the balloon expand! The white bottle doesn't heat up as fast. Check out the experiment here!

This hands-on science experiment uses something kids love (marbles!) to show how energy is transferred from one object to another.

Mechanical Energy - Candy and Simple Machines Science Project! This is such a fun way for kids to use STEM to learn with a hands on science project using m&m candies and a straw simple machine for homeschool, kindergarten, first grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade.

Rubber bands are great illustrators of elastic energy because of their extensibility. Students participate in this exercise by stretching and releasing rubber bands to observe the correlation between the amount of strain and the subsequent distance traveled by the band.

Can you tame a dragon with magic? Well, we'll find out together today as we learn about static electricity and tame some dragons using science (rather than magic - although it will seem like magic).
