We had a trip on the museum on Friday.
Our professor assign us to view the three MOS exhibits.
I hold the map and found the MOS exhibits position.
I found first exhibits :
Catching the wind
Wind power is a natural and clean resource generated by wind turbines to perform tasks or convert wind into usable electricity. Wind is a form solar energy.And wind power is measured in units called kilowatts(kW).
Turing wind into electricity
Wind turbines catch the energy of the wind and change it into a form we can use.As the wind turns a turbine’s blades, the machinery inside the nacelle converts the energy into electricity.
There have five type of wind turbines on the museum roof catch the energy of the wind and convert it into electricity.
- Proven 6
- Skystream
- Avx1000
- Swift
- windspire
I continue to find the second exhibits (Energized).
Sunlight
Turning sunlight into electricity
Solar panels transform sunlight into electricity .when the sun;s radiation hits the panel, electrons get energized and start move. Flowing electrons create an electrical current. That’s electricity.
This has a solar panel, four different position A,B,C or D in the house.
and three different time of the day (morning) (noon) (Afternoon).
I started to do the experiment of those three time of the day, and put the solar panel in the different position to get the data of how much energy the panel generates.
Morning Noon Afternoon
position Energy Energy Energy
A. 8.8 0 1.8
B 0 8.3 0
c 1 5.7 8.7
D 1.8 3 6.2
The three exhibits
Conserve@Home
This is three different light.
I started to do the experiment.
I shift plate very fast, and observed the different light.
I observed LED light early to get energy, but the Incandescent is hard to get energy.
The last exhibits.
Investigate
four steps to do this experiment.
1 Ask a question.
Does the different time that will affect the temperture.
2. Make a guess
Yes. It is.
3. Check it out.
grab-fill-lift-press-watch
4.what does it mean?
The time did not affect the temperature. The time is going, but the temperature is keeping the same during the time passed.
I went around the museum, and looked the different exhibits.
I ENJOY this trip.
