On Friday 4th of October, P5 took part in a webinar organised by DRAX.\u00a0 We learned about DRAX and the work that they do, especially with hydropower.<\/p>\n

First of all we thought about all the things we do that requires electricity.\u00a0 We talked about renewable and non-renewable energy sources.\u00a0 We played a game of Top Trumps with these energy sources.<\/p>\n

We looked closely at hydropower and how a water turbine works to produce energy.<\/p>\n

We heard about Tongland Hydro-electric power scheme near Kirkcudbright and what DRAX have done to help the wildlife and environment.\u00a0 \u00a0They have created ‘fish ladders’ for the fish to be able to travel upstream.<\/p>\n

It was very interesting.<\/p>\n

We were then asked to create a moving water turbine that would be tried and tested under the running tap.\u00a0 We had the choice of all of the resources and STEM materials available in the classroom.\u00a0 We even got to try out Miss Anderson’s new Strawbees kit, which was lots of fun!<\/p>\n

We all tested our water turbines and were surprised that most of them worked.\u00a0 Unfortunately a couple of group’s turbines did not work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
