Environmental Science - Mt Mercer Wind Farm

The Year 10 Environmental Science class recently visited the Mt Mercer Wind Farm as part of their study on sustainable and renewable energy. The excursion provided students with firsthand insight into how wind energy is harnessed to generate electricity without emitting greenhouse gases. They observed the scale and operation of the turbines, learned about the technology behind wind power, and discussed the environmental and economic benefits of renewable energy. The visit reinforced classroom learning by showing how large-scale wind farms contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future for Victoria.
