Windmills

One of the questions we set ourselves was to find out how electricity is made in Scotland. We found out that Scotland produces electricity from lots of sources including oil, gas, coal, water power, solar power, wave power and wind power.

We made some windmills ourselves from card and straws held together by a pin.

Firstly, we coloured in the card.

Then we cut and folded the corners into the middle.

Next we pinned the windmill to a straw.

We had to take care with the pins!

Finally, we blew some wind into our windmills to make them move.
