The Power of Wind Energy at the Primary School in Prudnik

News / The Power of Wind Energy at the Primary School in Prudnik

One of the schools participating in the “Clean Energy Power” Grant Program - Primary School No. 4 named after Maria Konopnicka in Prudnik - has completed the first stage of the project “Energy of the Future - Students for the Climate.”

New classroom – a space for action

Thanks to the support of Respect Energy Holding S.A., a modern and functional space for conducting STEAM classes has been created.

As part of the grant, the school equipped the classroom with desks, chairs, furniture, a demonstration table, a water cabinet, and teaching aids. At the same time, renovation work was carried out, including the replacement of lighting with energy-efficient systems, upgrades to installations, painting, and the installation of new boards.

Result: a safe and inspiring space that supports teamwork, experimentation, and the development of future-ready skills.

As part of the project, the first STEAM classes were held under the theme “Discovering the Power of Wind Energy.” Students explored wind energy from different perspectives—scientific, environmental, and cultural.

Polish language: analysis of the motif of wind in literature and culture, and creation of mind maps.
Outcome: students produced visually appealing notes, lapbooks, and mind maps showing an interdisciplinary view of wind energy.

Geography: identifying the best locations for wind farms in Poland.
Outcome: posters were created presenting the most favorable sites for wind farm development, along with justifications for the choices.

Physics: calculating turbine power and building windmill models.
Outcome: by constructing models, students understood how physical parameters influence the efficiency of wind power plants.

Mathematics: calculations of the area and circumference of a circle based on blade movement.
Outcome: by combining theory with practice, students saw how mathematics is applied in designing renewable energy technologies.

Biology: analysis of the environmental impact of wind farms.
Outcome: posters were created presenting both ecological benefits and potential risks associated with wind energy development. Students learned to approach the topic in a balanced and critical way.

Art: creating functional paper windmills.
Outcome: colorful, working models were produced—symbolic yet powerful examples of harnessing natural forces.

This is just the beginning of a series of activities carried out within the “Clean Energy Power” program—more inspiring challenges related to renewable energy sources lie ahead for the students.
