Questions for Discussion: Exploring Windmill Design
Are there any changes you would make to this design? Why?
Could your windmill be used for something other than lifting?
What problems do real windmills solve?
How could you adapt your model windmill to operate in the wind outdoors (rather than by a hair dryer)? What design would you choose for your local environment and why?
Can you think of a toy that is similar to a windmill? What materials are used? How are the parts attached to each other? Can you make one out of everyday materials?
