Wind-energy thinking

Answer each question. Use the wordsearch words to help you explain how a turbine works.

1.Which part of a wind turbine is pushed by the wind and begins to turn?
  • The blades
  • The generator
  • The tower
  • The cables
2.Complete the energy pathway: moving air → turning blades and rotor → makes electrical energy.
3.True or false? Wind energy is renewable because wind is naturally replenished.
TrueFalse
4.A turbine is built offshore. Where is it located?
  • In the sea
  • In a forest
  • Underground
  • On a mountain road
5.Why does a turbine need moving air to generate electricity?
6.Mere sees the turbine blades turning on a windy day. Has the wind's energy disappeared, or has it been transferred? Explain what happens.
7.Name one benefit of generating electricity with wind rather than burning coal.
8.A windy afternoon is followed by a still evening. Predict what may happen to the electricity made by a wind farm, and give one way people can keep electricity available when wind drops.
