Energy Production and Information Fluency

Wind Energy


Benefits:

 Wind power is a spotless fuel source. Wind energy doesn’t contaminate the air like force plants that depend on the burning of non-renewable energy sources, for example, coal or gaseous petrol. Wind turbines don’t create barometrical outflows that cause corrosive downpour or nursery gasses.

→ Boundless, free, inexhaustible asset (the wind itself), economic value, upkeep cost, and position of wind harvesting facilities. Most importantly, the wind is a boundless, free, inexhaustible asset.

→ Wind power is profitable.

→ It’s a clean fuel source.

→ A wind turbine, or on the other hand alluded to as a wind energy converter, is a gadget that changes over the wind’s motor energy into electrical energy.

Challenges:

Unpredictable Wind Patterns

For the satisfactory capacity to be produced, there should be a consistent breeze blowing over a long term of time. Nonetheless, being that wind designs can’t generally be anticipated, this makes it hard to collect enough power in certain areas.

→ Loud Noise 

↪ When turbines are running they make a lot of noise and can be very distracting to the people who are living near them. They likewise modify the scene of a zone, which could negatively affect the encompassing networks.

→Turbine sharp edges could harm wild animals 

Birds have been murdered by flying into turning turbine cutting edges. The majority of these issues have been settled or significantly diminished through the mechanical turn of events or by appropriately siting wind plants.

Issues:

→ Wind Turbines Create Visual Pollution

→The Wind Fluctuates. Wind energy has a comparative disadvantage to sun-powered energy  in that it isn’t consistent

→ Wind turbines are lightning magnets and strikes on these tall, turning structures can cause noteworthy harm. Sharp edges detonate generators and control framework hardware fry.

My questions:

What is Wind Turbine?

✰ Wind turbines work on a straightforward rule. The energy in the wind turns a few propeller-like edges around a rotor. The rotor is associated with the fundamental shaft, which turns a generator to make power. (I put a picture for reference on how they look like)

How big are Wind Turbines? 

Wind turbines arrive in an assortment of sizes that can serve various needs. The biggest edge range can be bigger than the length of a football field and stand more than 20 stories high. This size of a turbine can create enough capacity to deliver power for upwards of 1,400 homes.

What Are Wind Turbines Made Of?

✰ Rotor (the part that rotates in the wind)
✰ Tower
✰ Electrical Generator
✰ Speed-Control System

Recommendations for Justin Trudeau 

Wind energy is very important because of its wellspring of the sustainable power source. It doesn’t defile, it is endless and decreases the utilization of non-renewable energy sources, which are the inception of nursery gasses that cause a dangerous atmospheric deviation. Wind energy does not generate waste or contaminate water an extremely important factor given the scarcity of water. Wind turbines can be a little pricey but useful for the country that we live in. Wind (or wind turbines) creates jobs, this is very needed especially in the time that we are living where almost half of the population has lost their jobs due to the virus but you could help people that are unemployed by providing the tools for them to start a new job. Overall wind energy would benefit everyone.

A Fresh Look at the Periodic table

1. DEFINE and DISCOVER 

The problems:

✰ Hard to memorize

✰ Hard to read

✰Not enough color, making students unmotivated to use the periodic table.

✰ Looks bland

The challenges:

✰ Changing the periodic table, keeping in mind the elements and symbols

✰ The fact that elements can change from solid, liquid and gas. This may cause problems when color-coding.

✰ Filing the spaces when moving the elements around the table

2.DREAM

Big Ideas

o   Alphabetical order

o   A different shape

o   Keep the color-coding technique

o   Colour coding gas, liquid, and solids.

o   Putting metals that are on the bottom with other metals on top, then putting the non-metals on the bottom

What info does the periodic table tell us?

o   It tells us about the element (metal/non-metal, atomic number)

0 It has the atomic number tells you how many protons are in the element, which tells you the number of electrons.

3.DESIGN and DELIVER 

We planned to make a cube that had the periodic table elements in it. Then we decided to color coordinate the elements based on if they were liquid, solid or gas and made a legend. Here’s the finished product:

Video of our periodic cube

4.DEBRIEF

When we were making our cube there were some challenges in the way because at one point we were missing some elements for solids then we found them and fixed the problem.
