Wind Power!

Wind is an inexhaustible energy resource. We have been looking at the pros and cons of wind farms and how wind turbines work. We created our own pinwheels. Then, we looked at what variables we could change to see what how the pinwheel worked best. Some of the variables we changed were blade size, materials and wind strength. Also, we are lucky enough to have an actual turbine with a small, visible generator in our classroom that generates enough power to light up a small bulb. This really helped us to see and understand how wind turbines work!
