Wind Energy
This week the girls of Wooldridge’s Girlstart Club learned about wind as an alternative energy source. They created wind turbines to attach to a Hot Wheels Car.
Then we used a fan to power the turbines so the cars would move! This is a great alternate to fuel since fuel pollutes the air and is nonrenewable. Because wind is a renewable energy source, we will never run out! However, as the girls of Wooldridge discovered from testing their own cars, there are some cons to powering a car with wind. The wind doesn’t always blow and when it does it may not always blow in the direction you need it to.
