Generating electricity from wind and wind farms is very topical in these 'carbon neutral ' times. A major wind energy feature will be found in the Term 2 starters&strategies magazine but we have found a great website to get your students thinking about wind turbines generating electricity. This animated (and delightful) site is produced by the Danish Wind Energy Association – leaders in turbine development. Get your students to take the self-motivated Crash Course on wind energy where they will find: What makes up a wind turbine; How a wind turbine generates electricity and Where does the wind come from.

Your zoo is about to receive its first-ever Siberian tiger, a six-year-old male called rover. He’s being moved to your zoo by the Siberian Tiger Species Survival Plan.. There aren’t many of these special animals left in the wild–only about 400–and your mission is to make sure this one thrives in his new zoo home. Since Siberian tigers may not survive in the wild, zoos–including your zoo–may be their only safe haven. |
