Learning Target

Explain in your own words Wind Alternative NRG

Explain how Energy is made from the wind

Advantages/Disadvantages (Pro/Con) of having Wind as an Alternative Energy

Vocabulary Connection

• wind – natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction.

• turbine – a machine for producing continuous power in which a wheel or rotor, is made to revolve by a fast-moving flow of water, steam, gas, air, or other fluid.

What Makes Wind

It is all about DENSITY!!

Wind Energy

• How does a wind turbine work?http://energy.gov/maps/how-does-wind-turbine-work

Wind Energy

• Your teacher will show you an example of how to use wind (moving air) to generate electricity.

• In your notebook, sketch the modeland label the parts. In your own words, write how electricity is generated using wind power.

• In your notebook, write at least one question that you could answer using the wind turbine equipment. What variable would you be testing? What variables would you control? What might your redesign look like?

Write About It

Wind Energy~ Day 2

Open your Research Document and complete a 2nd form for GeothermalYou will use the Symbaloo website from Mrs. Aldridge’s web page as part of your research.Remember to save your changes with the blue square in the top left corner of your screen.

Wind Energy Research

• Use these links and the printed resources that your teacher provides to inform the public about wind energy.

• Include the same categories of information that you used to tell the public about hydropower and solar energy.
