Renewable Energy

We are learning about different fuels and how they are used.

We invited an engineer from the local wind farm to teach us about wind turbines.  We listened and watched for useful information.  We wrote notes and asked questions.

Our predictions didn’t match the outcome!
SDC11415
Our group couldn’t agree if cardboard was waterproof or not……….
SDC11413
We tested different materials to see if they were waterproof.
SDC11412
The plastic bag was waterproof.
SDC11411
The paper towel wasn’t waterproof.
SDC11410
We took turns to use the pipette.
SDC11409
We tested 5 different materials.
SDC11408
We worked in a group.
SDC11407
The PVC fabric was waterproof.
SDC11405
We had fun too!

BLOG OCT 255“We were learning what way the wind was blowing” Sienna Leitch”To see if the wind is blowing or not.  Sarah from P3 told us how to make a wind turbine” Siona Sircar BLOG OCT 247“Anna from P3 . She was showing me how to work the windmill.  I showed her my windsock and I showed her how to do it” Jessica Mackessy
BLOG OCT 246“Anna from P3 showed me that it goes fast that way if there is more wind” Millie Taggart BLOG OCT 251“Dylan is my brother and I was learning about wind” Daisy McLean

Heather and me were trying out each others windsock and wind turbine. Sophia Barclay
BLOG OCT 240“We were doing something working out which way the wind was going” Arlo Barsanti” I made it with long see through paper, glue and a tube.  I tied it with string. It moved to the East. Because that was the windiest way” Zaid Hadji BLOG OCT 237” I was wanting to tell which way the wind was going and I was hanging on the gate and the wind was blowing west” Jamie McFarlane

Wait until I put my safety goggles back on!

We are learning about different types of energy.

The candle is heating the chocolate and it is melting” Logan

We made predictions about the possible outcomes of our experiment.

 

 

 

 

 

 
We used heat energy to change chocolate from a solid to a liquid.

“The chocolate is melting” Liam

 

 

 

 

 

 We had to listen carefully to all the safety rules before starting our experiment.
