Investigating OUR Environment II

As we approached the wind farm we marveled at the size of each Giant that lay before us as they spun round working to generate clean power for us all! The first part of our day was spent indoors as we guessed then worked out the best shapes to use as part of our very own wind turbines wondering whether it would be blades, spoons, rectangles or even squares??? Then what would work best would it be 3 or six on each turbine? With the help of the excellent 'Ross' were soon to find out our very own answers! We divided ourselves into small teams each with our very own wind turbine, wind source, paddles, measuring devices all complimented with inquisitive minds and as always the Very Best Support Staff to help us along the way! So with Goggles on we were off, installing paddles and taking off rectangles, talking and asking questions so much that you could literally 'feel the energy' in the room. We had made our predictions and soon the results were in, results that surprised some and made others sit with smug smiles dressing their faces. Then with our new found understanding it was onto the Scottish Power Electric Bus and off out on to the site and another learning adventure....
