Tin Science this year, we will be studying and experimenting with Energy in Q1. Energy is the power or ability to make something work or be active. This week we focused on invisible wind power. We learned that energy can be obtained by harnessing the power of wind by using a fan. To prove that the wind is providing energy, we made a windsock from a grocery store bag or a plate shaker with colorful surveyor’s tape, and then we held them and saw them move from the wind the fan provided. Our oldest students also did an experiment after they made a hypothesis on which of 5 objects would move first, once we turned on the fan.
We compared our experimental results with our hypothesis. We had a lot of smiles upon completion of our classes and this was a great start to our science studies for this year!
