Making Wind Turbine
We started making a wind turbine by using materials that were provided
from our school. We used videos posted up on the blog to make a turbine
and used our knowledge about blades to make different types of blades to
find which blade is best to produce power and energy. After we created
whole model, we collected data using Vernier science probes and Logger
Pro, which is graphing software. By these experiments, we could
understand about how power and energy produced by wind turbine, we could
investigate about the idea of how does the size, length, shape, angle,
and number of blades affect the energy the turbine can produce, and what
could our turbine do for Branksome Hall Asia, where uses 4,335,540 kWh
of energy at a cost of 591,016,736 KRW per year. We believe our turbine
will work well on create part because we researched, and designed about
the wind turbine based on yesterday's trip and today's experiment.

Very informative video team! I enjoy the use of panning images to capture moments as you explore wind power and wind turbines.
ReplyDeleteI would recommend adding some prompts and questions in either the video or the blog post itself to allow other students and teachers to comment and share their thoughts on your progress.
Keep up the good work!
