A Skype Visitor Speaks About Solar Power

Dave Alm from Prairie Wind Toys http://www.prairiewindtoys.com talks about solar power.

Students had a fun skype visit from David Alm of Prarie Wind Toys. http://www.prairiewindtoys.com David and his dad, Charlie Alm, told the children about how solar power works and what the advantages are of using solar power. We purchased one of his solar windmills from his web site so as he was speaking, we could look at his windmill on the computer and the windmill that we had purchased. He also showed us how the solar powered car works. There was only one problem. We had a cloudy day! Fortunately I had taken a video of the windmill on a sunny day when it was spinning nonstop, so I shared it with the students. The students enjoyed our visit from David and Charlie. They took time to answer all of our questions about solar power. Now, let’s hope that we have some sun to get our windmill spinning!
