Wind Power


Today in Science we talked about the possible power cuts this winter. There is not enough water in the lakes to make power. We talked about why we use more power in winter and what we can do to save it. 
We then looked at some pictures of wind farms and how they work. We made our own windmills using stiff paper, bamboo, beads and pins.

Great work room 6. I thought Clifton Tce had started its own wind farm when I came out of the computer suite and saw windmills turning everywhere I looked!
I thought the bead was a good idea. It made the windmill turn easily. I read in the paper they are building a small model that homes will be able to use. They even can turn away from the wind when the breeze is too strong.
