wind power

Weather and Climate Change 

Extreme weather

Measuring weather.

Wind

Beaufort Wind Scale

Beaufort Force	Wind Speed (KPH)	Spins	Indicators	Terms Used in NWS Forecasts
0	0-2	0	Calm; smoke rises vertically.	Calm
1	2-5	10	Shown by direction of wind smoke drift, but not by wind vanes.	Light
2	6-12	40	Wind felt on face, leaves rustle; ordinary vanes moved by wind.	Light
3	13-20	80	Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag.	Gentle
4	21-29	130	Raises dust and loose paper; small branches are moved.	Moderate
5	30-39	190	Small trees in leaf begin to o5sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters.	Fresh
6	40-50	250	Large branches in motion; whistling heard in telephone wires; umbrellas used with difficulty.	Strong
7	51-61	320	Whole trees in motion; inconvenience felt walking against the wind.	Strong
8	62-74	390	Breaks twigs off trees; generally impedes progress.	Gale
9	75-87	470	Slight structural damage.	Gale
10	88-101	550	Seldom experienced inland; trees uprooted; considerable structural damage occurs.	Whole gale
11	102-116	640	Very rarely experienced inland; accompanied by widespread damage.	Whole gale
12	117 or more	730+	Very rarely experienced; accompanied by widespread damage.	Hurricane

Wind speed - Making an anemometer.

MATERIALS

1. pencils
2. tape  
3. straws x4  
4. pin  
5. cups x4  

STEPS

1.   stick the straws together
2.   then you tape them so they are in the shape of the cross
3.   stick a pin though them
4.   stick it to the rubber of the pencil
5.   stick cups though the straw

Once you have made an anemometer we are going to record the wind speed.

Group size: 5

You will need:

Anemometer (above) 

Roles:

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind generator

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the time keeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. If possible, repeat the above step four (4) times and record the average number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins using the table below.

You will need to create the wind yourself by blowing. Get 4 different wind speeds by blowing.

You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

	Time Interval	Number of Spins
1.	10	13
2.	10	13
3.	10	6
4.	10	27

• Can you make a statement connecting the number of spins of your anemometer and the speed of the wind? 

CONCLUSION:

this is a great way to see how fast th ewing is travelling and how strong it is

fossil fuels

Mining Fossil Fuels

How are they mined?

1. Drilling
2. Digging
3. Picking
4. Exaggerating  
Where are they mined?

1. Desserts 
2. Caves
3. Water
4. Ice
5. Deep underground

Activity;

On the sheet provided you need to make two drawings of your cookie. 
1. looking down at it. 
2. side on -  of the imaginary habitat that will live on the top of the cookie. ( trees, bushes, flax, sea, etc)

Material:

1.  Cookie 
2.   Pen or pencil
3.   Plate
4.  Paper

Steps:

1.   Draw your island
2.   Get the choc chips of the cookie 
3.   Draw your island after mining 
4.   Write about what happened to your island 
5.   Eat the cookies

Findings: The island got destroyed as a result of the mining.

Conclusion: I think this is a good way to show what is happening to the world.

becoming older

warning don't read this if you are under ten
in drama we learnt about puberty in the male body has a lot of testosterone which make the voice go deeper and you get facile hair you also get some hormones that give you mood swings which make you happy sad or even angry also you like to sleep a lot like its the only thing you want to do

bio fuels

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Renewable Energy film

Biomass

Aim: To compare the amount of gas that is produced from different types of biomass.

Material:

3.   disposable  gloves
4.   cup
5.   fresh horse manure
6.   mashed banana
7.  funnel
8. water
9. balloons
10. vegetables peelings

Steps:

1. label all bottles
2. take bottle cap off  
3. put manure in all bottles    
4. put mashed banana in one bottle 
5. and put veges scraps in the another 
6. then you put some water in it
7. then you put some balloons over the bottle top 
8. and then you leave it for twelve days
