Wind energy workshop

On November 28, Ann from TERC (a renewable energy organization), visited our classroom to teach the students about using wind as an alternative form of energy.  During the second half of the presentation, students got to build a wind turbine, and were able to generate enough electricity to light a coloured bulb. Students will now be building their own wind turbines in groups during their Science class. They will be using found materials and materials Ann provided. These projects will be entered into a design competition, and we will see them when we go to the Kids' Energy festival later in the year.
