Although I was unable to go to the Museum Of Science with the class, I took an opportunity to stop by with my family to check out some exhibits. The exhibit that I am choosing to blog about is The Catching Wind Exhibit. This exhibit shows people how wind is transformed into green energy when going through a wind turbine. There are nine turbines on top of the building and the museum’s Wind Lab tracks the amount of energy that is produced. It also teaches the visitors the process of how energy is made with wind turbines and the pros and cons to having/getting a wind turbine. I think it is important to inform people about these things because finding alternate ways of energy is important today and if wind energy is efficient people should know that it is a possibility.
