• Beaufort scale: a rating scale used to measure wind speed through observations.
• Energy: The ability to do work.
• Engineer: A person who uses his or her creativity and understanding of mathematics and science to design things that solve problems.
Engineering design process: Te steps that engineers use to design something to solve a problem.
• Fisk: Danish word for fish.
• Mechanical engineering: The branch of engineering that deals with the design and performance of machines.
• Technology: Any thing, system, or process that deals with the design and performance of machines.
• Vejr: Danish word for weather. Pronounced vair.
• Wind: Air that is moving and has energy.
• Windmill: A machine that harnesses the energy of the wind to do useful work.
