How can air and water cause change or movement?

Sometimes science is a nice break from math!

For the next several days, students will learn about and be able to explain how air and water are sources of energy.

Today we discussed wind power:

Tomorrow we'll find out about water (hydroelectric) power:

Both wind and water (hydroelectric) power are renewable sources of energy.

A generator can be used to transfer kinetic energy from moving air and water into electrical energy:
 

For today's home learning, students will research advantages and disadvantages of wind power.  They will use this information for a language arts writing assignment.  We'll do the same for water (hydroelectric) power on Monday.
