Northern Maine Community College Wind Turbine field trip

    Back in October, fourth and fifth graders from Southern Aroostook Community School participated in a National 4-H Science Day. Students constructed Wind Turbines in groups using cardstock, paper, and tape.  Their goal was to create a wind turbine that could conduct the most amount of energy. This activity allowed students to explore in the world of science and inevitably became scientists for the duration of the experiment.
    Due to the success and interest of the National Science Day activity, the ASP staff decided to make this a real life experience for the students.  Experiences leave imprints on the lives of students.

UP CLOSE LOOK — Students in the 21stCentury After School Program at Southern Aroostook Community School recently took a field trip to the Northern Maine Community College to see its wind turbines.
    On Nov. 8, SACS 21st Century After School Program took 18 fourth through eighth grades on a field trip to Northern Maine Community College, where they received a complete tour and explanation of Wind Turbines and facility at NMCC.  Students were given the opportunity to ask questions to professionals and experts in the field of Science. It was an insightful experience.
