On the road to knowledge with music for 3 to 6 year olds!

Today, we are going on a journey to discover wind energy.

Pictures of our little adventurers in action - can you come and play with them?

🎼 Ready to move, sing and dream?

This first melody will take you on a musical discovery of the world!

🎤 Move, sing, discover!

Let's get adventurous with this second soundtrack. 😀

🎙 Read the lyrics to our music:

The lyrics of the two songs are identical, only the melodies are different.

The adventure begins with a story and discoveries for 6 - 8 year olds!

📝 Quick summary of key information

A wind turbine is a big machine with blades that spin with the wind. It turns the wind's energy into electricity. Imagine a giant windmill that makes electricity instead of grinding grain.

The wind makes the blades of the windmill spin. These blades are connected to a generator inside the windmill. It's as if the blades help the generator make electricity.

Inside the wind turbine, the generator turns the movement of the blades into electricity. It's a bit like a magician changing one thing into another, but here, it's science that does the magic.

Wind energy is renewable, which means it never runs out. It is good for the planet because it does not pollute the air like coal or oil power plants. Also, there are other renewable energies like solar energy, which is very important too.

The Magic Windmill

How can wind make electricity?

Wind Energy

After setting up an alarm and automatic lights in the Connected Cabin, Noa and Zoé learned to program sensors to make their cabin smart. With a tablet, they tested their program and saw the lights turn on automatically when a curious cat came near. Now, they are ready to tackle new challenges at the Little Engineers Fab-Lab‎ (1). Noa, with his round glasses and tool overalls, and Zoé, with her curly hair in a ponytail and sketch tablet, head towards the Energy Lab. Teacher Astucio, with his white coat and invention notebook, greets them with a big smile.

Teacher Astucio, with exciting enthusiasm, says:
« Welcome to the Energy Lab! »

Noa, curious, asks:
« What are we doing today? »

Zoé, curious about the noise, asks:
« What is all this noise? »

Teacher Astucio, with a teaching smile, says:
« Look at these colorful lights. They show the energy of the wind. »

After explaining how colored lights work, Teacher Astucio shows them a big wind turbine. Zoé is then invited to build a mini wind turbine. Meanwhile, Noa connects a small solar panel to a lamp. While they work, Teacher Astucio tells them how the blades‎ (2) of the wind turbine spin with the wind.

Noa, curious, asks: « How does the windmill‎ (3) make electricity? »

Teacher Astucio, with a bright smile, starts to explain: « The wind's energy makes a generator‎ (4) spin. It makes electricity. »

Zoé puts together the last pieces of her windmill. Once it's done, she places it on a small table. She waits for Noa to finish his solar panel. When the windmill spins, an LED‎ (5) lights up and reveals a sun-shaped drawing on the wall... another clue towards their big final invention!

Renewable Energy

Noa finishes his solar panel. He puts it near the window. Zoé spins her mini windmill. The windmill starts to spin. The LED lights up. The drawing on the wall shines brighter and brighter.

Zoé, excited, says:
« Look, Noa! The sun and the wind light up the wall! »

Noa, amazed, says:
« It's magic! We did it! »

Teacher Astucio, proud of his students, says: « You have worked so well. You have discovered the secrets of renewable‎ (6) energy. »

Zoé, with a curious smile, asks:
« What is the next step? »

Teacher Astucio, with a mysterious smile, announces:
« You will explore the mysteries of the sky. In the Test Tunnel, you will make airplanes and rockets. »

With their mini windmill and solar panel, Noa and Zoé have discovered the secrets of renewable energy. Now, they are ready to explore the mysteries of the sky. In the Test Tunnel, Noa makes a mini foam airplane, while Zoé creates an air-powered‎ (7) mini rocket. They will discover how an airplane or a rocket can fly in the air.
