In week 10, 2020 the Enviro avengers experimented with a small windmill made with a motor, wood, paper clips and cardboard. They connected alligator clips to the motor, then onto a voltmeter to measure the voltage generated from the ‘windmill’. They then put it in front of a fan or a hair dryer to make it spin, thus creating power. They then put their data in a worksheet and did the questions on it. They were also visited by Oscar and Ivana who helped them out when they were doing their project. 

 

After Lunch they then were shown by Mrs Hansen a wind turbine and solar panels and how much they cost and how they are set up, when discussing they decided to have a vote on which power they should use. When the vote was at a tie (well sort of it was 7 to 8) they decided they should go and ask Mrs Fowler and Miss Gifford to sort out this vote, they sent 2 people to go and ask them. After a small conversation and vote they decided that solar power was the best thing to use. 

While writing this the rest of Enviro Avengers are writing a mini 3 paragraph blog about what happened today, this is also the last meeting for Enviro so they all have to wait for next year for the next meeting and that’s when the next blog is going to be posted. 

See you next year!
