Students studying alternative energy in New Haven Community Schools are expecting to see record amounts of energy produced by the 60-foot wind turbine at Endeavour Middle School.
Winds associated with Hurricane Sandy may mean scattered garbage cans and downed power lines for some in southeast Michigan, but for students studying alternative energy at Endeavour Middle School, it's a unique opportunity to study their wind turbine as never before. Students at Endeavour are expecting to see record amounts of energy produced by their 60-foot wind turbine as Michigan feels the effects of the storm now pounding the East Coast. “Students are making some predictions about wind speeds and the amount of energy we’ll produce in the next few days,” said David Rayes, principal of Endeavour Middle School, in a prepared statement. “Not only are they learning some great math skills, it truly helps them understand how a national news…

The latest tool supporting New Haven Community Schools' alternative energy curriculum is the 60-foot wind turbine that was installed behind Endeavor Middle School Tuesday afternoon.
Amid applause, whistles and shouts of "turn, turn, turn" by one very enthused New Haven student, Endeavor Middle School's new 60-foot wind turbine was raised into place Tuesday afternoon. The turbine, made possible through a partnership with Energy Works Michigan, is part of New Haven Community Schools' new K-12 alternative energy curriculum, which also includes the study of biofuels and solar energy. Although data from the turbine became available almost the instant it was installed, the curriculum built around this information will not be fully implemented until next school year. At that point, all students in the district will have access to the turbine's data regardless of whether they are a K-8 student at Endeavor Middle School or …

The 60-foot wind turbine is one of several elements New Haven Community Schools is using to implement its new alternative energy curriculum.
If all goes according to plan, a 60-foot wind turbine will be in place behind Endeavor Middle School by the time school lets out this afternoon. This turbine is part of New Haven Community Schools' new K-12 alternative energy curriculum, which includes the use of biodiesel fuel in its school buses and study of solar panels at the elementary level. “We have been pursuing a K-12 alternative energy curriculum for about a year, and have been working with group called Energy Works Michigan on both the technical and financial aspects,” said Keith Wunderlich, New Haven superintendent, in a March 2012 interview with Patch. Studying bio-fuels at the high school level and solar energy in elementary, middle school students and teachers have been …

New Haven Community Schools will implement the next phase of its alternative energy curriculum by using biodiesel fuel in its buses and building a 60-foot wind turbine at its middle school.
If the French fry-scented biodiesel buses don’t draw attention to New Haven’s new alternative energy curriculum, the 60-foot wind turbine behind Endeavor Middle School probably will. This spring, New Haven Community Schools will implement the next phase of its K-12 alternative energy curriculum, which includes the use of biodiesel fuel in its school buses and the construction of a wind turbine at its middle school. “We have been pursuing a K-12 alternative energy curriculum for about a year, and have been working with group called Energy Works Michigan on both the technical and financial aspects,” said Keith Wunderlich, New Haven Community Schools superintendent. At the high school level, students are currently studying bio-fuels and this …

I've never "heard" a wind turbine. Are the ones along Lake Michigan and Up North really as loud as some people say? more ›
