Year 8 Energy & Geohazards
The Year 8 students visited KIOSC last week, with sessions focussed on Energy and Geohazards.
The first session involved students investigating the effect of changing the quantity, shape, size and angle of blades on a wind turbine in an attempt to generate the greatest wattage.
The second session used drones to complete a series of tasks. Students needed to program the drone to perform a series steps, flying to drone over a mountain and landing it on the appropriate site.
The final session explored housing materials, what is the best to insulate a house in cold environments, or keep it cool in warmer temperatures.
