This month in science

    This month science I worked with a group, and in the group was Ciarra, Carlos, Samuel, and Achantae. We studied energy and the reasons why our earth's energy is wasting. We worked on different ways of how we use energy daily. We also went around the neighborhood and interviewed people on human impact of energy. We did annotations on how to save the energy, how we could catch peoples eyes in making a different perspective on saving energy. We also spoke to students from NYU college and they helped us learn more things about conserving energy.
   I learned that when you charge your phone it takes up a lot of energy and when you over charge it kills a lot of energy too. We tested how much energy an alarm clock takes up and it takes up a lot of it, which is very suprising. I learned that the alarm clock takes up more energy than a curling iron, but I thought that the curling iron took up more energy than the alarm clock because it has a lot of heat and an alarm clock doesn't do anything but show the time and ring when you need it too. I also learned that all of the people my group and I interviewed cares about saving energy expect for one 20 year old asian lady.

                      The image shows an iphone that is over charging, and the wire inside the charger says save energy. It also has a text message that says Steve Jobs is safe are we? Because using up energy is not good for the earth.The reason why I picked this picture is because it shows that people over charge their cellphones and that uses up alot of energy. 

High-Altitude Wind Machines Could Power New York City

 This article is about earth science, energy and the environment. It explains if wind machines would be placed thousands of feet above the city could theoretically could power up the city, because no matter how much wind blows through the streets of New York City it wouldn't be able to power up the city. It states that first rigorous worldwide study of high-altitude wind power estimates that there will be enough wind energy at altitudes of about 1,600 to 40,000 feet to meet the global electricity hundred times over.

I like that the article states interesting facts about the electricity we use daily. I found it very interesting to know that the wind power can be possiable to power up the whole city. Its also good to know because we use energy everyday and it relates on to us humans.
