Hi! Today I’m going to tell you a little bit about my Innovation day project in grade 5.  For my project I made a wind turbine that powers a light in a park!

This is my information on my poster board about how a wind turbine makes electricity!

How do wind turbines make electricity? Well It starts by the wind slowly turning the turbine blades. In the main housing, called the nacelle, there are a lot of components for stability and direction. But the key components of a common configuration of wind turbine are the Drive Shaft, Gearbox and Generator. The force of the wind that turns the blades turns the drive shaft. The drive shaft has a large gear in the gear box that turns a smaller one, because the second gear is smaller it turns faster, fast enough to make electricity. That second gear turns a rotor, this rotates inside a drum of wire coils called a stator. The rotor excites the electrons in the stator, creating an electrical current. This process works exactly like the alternator in your car. The current travels down a cable inside the tower and into a transformer at the bottom where it is converted to a higher voltage for long distance travel.

And this is my wind power information on my poster!

Anything that moves around has a type of energy called kinetic energy. Wind is air moving around therefore wind is a type of kinetic energy.

Wind power is harnessed by a machine which is called a wind turbine. Wind turbines are tall towers, topped with blades. These blades are connected to a vertical shaft, or rod. When the force of the wind causes the blades to spin, they turn the shaft.Turning the shaft provides power to a machine called a generator, which will produce electricity.

 One of the bad things about wind turbines is that birds and bats can be injured or killed if they are hit by turbine blades. These deaths may contribute to declines in the population of species also affected by other human-related impacts. Otherwise wind is a great clean energy source that doesn’t hurt the environment.

Hi! today I’m going to share my Scientists in the school reflection!

A Scientist came digitally to my school to help my class do a science experiment. We were doing the Science experiment on States of matter. The main goal of the session was to learn about States of matter and we where tiring to figure out what this mystery powder was. In the experiment we mixed powders with water some examples are Epsom salt, baking soda and flower. I learned a lot about Sates of Matter and how to use different powders to fined out what another powder is. I think my favorite part was when we mixed some different powders and water in a cup and some foam over filed the cup. My least favorite part was cleaning up!

Hi today I’m going to show you my persuasive righting  on why you should perches my  coca cola bottle cap!!!! { you cant actually perches my cap}

Hi! Today I’m going to show you my public speaking refection on why kids should have more resess!

What I found challenging and what I didn’t enjoy!

What I found challenging about public speaking was not saying it but I was nervous when I said my speech. I was nervous because I was stressed on how good I would do saying my speech. what I didn’t enjoy doing was the research of my speech. What was hard to search up was dose reses help kids focus when the come back to class. To me this was hard because there was so much information on one website . because of this it was hard to find the best fakes that I understood and that would make sense to the rest of my class .

What I found easy and what I did enjoy!

What I found easy was practicing my speech. This might be confusing because I said the most challenging thing I did was saying the speech. The thing is it was hard saying it in front of my class, but when I was practicing my speech it was easy because it was just me and one other person. What I enjoyed was choosing what my speech was about. To me this was fun because I got to choose any topic I wanted. But most importantly was I could do my topic about something I care about.

What I would do differently next time!

Next time I will work more on writing my speech and making it as good as it can be. I felt I practiced the delivery part just right and would do that again next time.

Hi! Today I am going to show you my response to the question which is: Do you want to be a pirate?

I believe that living life as a pirate is bad! When you live like a pirate you break the law and steal from other people. I wouldn’t enjoy being rich by stealing. Pirates have an attitude of being selfish and mean. Pirates go from place to place stealing and they don’t care how it impacts the person they stole from. I wonder if it would be hard to make friends as a pirate if people didn’t trust you.

Being a pirate means that you will be on the water most of your life and in my opinion that is boring. There is so much more to do on land. If I were a pirate I would not want to be on a  boat during crazy storms .I know some people get motion sick easily and would be uncomfortable to be on a rocking boat. Spending all my time on a boat  is not my thing.

I don’t want to be a pirate! I don’t want to hurt other people and treat them badly.  As much as I love the water I don’t want to live on a boat. This is why I never want to be a pirate!
