5.  Sellotape                                                                                     

STEPS

1. Go to one of the Designated areas.
2. Raise the anemometer as high as you can reach. 
3. Time 15 seconds
4. Count the spins within 15 seconds.
5. Record.

Group Investigation.

Groups size: 5 
Roles:

• Timekeeper ( watch)

• Counter

• Recorder ( chromebook or refill )

• Anemometer Manager ( Anemometer)

• Wind Manager

Instructions:

• Go to the measuring place and set up your wind gauge.
• Make sure everyone in your group is ready to start their roles.
• Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.
• Count the number of spins in 15 seconds.
• Record it on your chart.

FINDINGS

	Place name on school grounds	Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.	Field	1
2.	Old J Block site	1
3.	Grass hill in quad	1
4.	Tennis Court gate	2

• USING A4 PAPER DRAW YOUR RESULTS ON A GRAPH.
• TAKE A PICTURE OF THE GRAPH AND UPLOAD IT TO YOUR BLOG

WHICH IS THE WINDEST AREA AND WHY?

WHICH IS THE CALMEST AREA AND WHY?

WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE ON LAND TO BUILD A WINDMILL?

CONCLUSION: 

Tennis  is court got the most spins because it is near whole lot of bushes that blow it 

Renewable Energy

1. Hydro Energy
2. Solar Energy
3. Wind Energy 
4. Wave Energy

Section 3; Investigate each of the 4 Energy types.
( Hydro ,Solar ,Wind ,Wave ) 

1. Type: Hydro, solar, wind and wave
2. Is it used in NZ hydro solar and wind is in new Zealand hydro dams power 298,000
3. Other Countries that use it.
4. NICARAGUA. ...
5. SCOTLAND. ...
6. GERMANY. ...
7. URUGUAY. ...
8. DENMARK. ...
9. CHINA.
10. How is it used to generate electricity

Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy.

1. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand drawn using a ruler and labelled.

Section 4: Renewable Energy in the future.

List 10 ways that renewable energy will be used in the future to replace our current activities.

solar ovens

 To make a solar powered oven.

Materials:
