We have been learning so much at CAT about alternative energy and how our actions can affect the environment. Grade 5 students share some of the interesting things they have learned and discoveries they have made below. We will continue to update, so please check back!
p.s. check out the Centre's site for more information about the work that they do here! www.cat.org.uk
After a long journey, Grade 5 students arrived at the Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales! We passed beautiful Welsh countryside along the way and saw lots of animals including horses, rabbits, cows and many, many sheep! Upon arrival we were shown to our home for the next four days: the Eco-Cabins.
On day two of our adventure, Grade 5 students took part in wind workshops at the Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales. They observed real wind turbines and inquired into their form and function. Acting as wind turbine company engineers under names such as the Wind Wizards, Golden NRG, The Blizzard Wizards, and Interwind, they then had the opportunity to build and test their own miniature turbines.
