Power to the people - Preslee

For the past few weeks we have been learning about sustainable power and how it can be used. Our plan is to make energy using the Otaki water ways.

1. What have you achieved/learned/found out since your last post?

So far I have learned about how hydro-power works and the different ways it can produce power. We also watched some videos and read some books about water mills and how they can create sustainable power.

2. How effectively have you used your time this week?

I have managed our time well this week finishing our proposal and starting on our research.

3. How have you contributed to your group’s progress? I have collectively worked with my group and we have all been sharing all the load.

4. Glows: something that is going well in your project:

what is working well most is our collaboration and knowing what jobs need to be done.

5. Grows: Something you need to work on:

staying on task and making sure we know how to make our model.

6. Where could you get help with this? 

being punished by the teachers if we get off task.

7. What are the next steps for your project?

Figure out and make a water turbine, with help from Mr Thorn and Mr Gorgetti and maybe Matua T.
