Diagram should include

- the components
  - foundation
  - tower
  - rotor (hub/blades)
  - generator
  - yaw mechanism

- an explanation outlining the overall function of a wind turbine
- a conversion of mechanical energy associated with moving air to mechanical energy of rotating blades and shaft driving a generator and conversion to electrical energy.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is a rotor on a wind turbine?
- Why is there a yaw mechanism on a wind turbine?
