Recently, I had a chance to visit Museum of Science(MOS) with my class fellows. The Museum of Science (MoS) is a Boston, Massachusetts landmark, located in Science Park. The Museum is also an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and is home to over 100 animals, many of which have been rescued and rehabilitated from various dangerous situations. We visit almost every site of the museum and we gain a lot of information from there.
After that, we studied and learnt there about wind and solar energy. We gathered a wide range of information about sustainable energy resources. As we know, wind power is the fastest-growing source of electricity in the United States. Therefore, we also learnt about how a wind turbine works, how some of the trade-offs surrounding wind energy, and how scientists are engineering new. We also learnt in the MOS about the most efficient ways to generate, store, and transport electricity from the wind.
We also came to know that the Museum has developed a to-scale community solar system model that spans as far as the Riverside MBTA station. We also done a little experiment there whose outcomes proved that in order for a panel to collect the highest amount of solar energy, the photovoltaic panel must be place in coordination to the incoming angle of the Sun.
Here are some pictures of our trip to this museum:
