Whitelee Wind Farm

We had great fun in the wind and rain at Whitelee Wind Farm.  We learnt about sustainable energy from the sun, wind and water.

Hydro Energy

“The water, the light and the wind energy made the buzzers buzz, the lights, light up and the cogs turn in our experiments.” Jacob

Bus Tour

“Stewart the driver told us lots of facts about the wind turbines.  The blades on the turbine are made of wood.  The nose cone rotates to face the wind. If you put your ear to the turbine, you can hear the energy being produced”  Minna

“I think the bus tour was the most fun part of the trip because we had a really nice driver who was also really funny.”  Hamza

Wind Turbine Hugging!

 

Peat Bog Fun

The stick went 3m down into the peat bog because it was so wet. The peat at the bottom was 3,000 years old.   

“The peat bog was fun!It was like bouncing on a trampoline!” Flora

“The ranger squeezed a handful of moss and it was like it was raining.  It had so much water in it!”  Emily
