Animal Farm by George Orwell STEM Challenge and Social Experiment.

This activity and experiment is great for midway through the novel, Animal Farm by George Orwell. Students explore clean energy, through wind power. They go through a wind power investigation but little do they know they are being manipulated through a social experiment. Students think they are designing and building a windmill with all of the same materials but will soon see there are inequities based on the character team they are placed on. Great fun while also exploring a science pathway. Students have a science notebook that they will use to collect their ideas and go through the engineering design process.
