Solar Energy Car.

This is my car. As you can see, it is made entirely out of solar panels. It has a pointy nose which gives it it's name 'The Sword-fish Car.'

It is good to save energy.


Do you hate having to pay a lot of money on your electricity bills? Well you’re in luck!
You should start saving energy now and reject your bills and make sure they go down. 

Unbelievably, you should start by using public transport, using a bike or you could just walk to school or work, this prevents the earths preposterous climate change. Cars produce greenhouse gasses that melt the ice in the Arctic that makes water overflow the earth.

Not only that, but also, this can save your money just as well as the animals in the Arctic. Surely you would agree that you would want to save your’s and the worlds life?

My final point is that you should start saving energy here are two more reasons how: turn off all electronics when no one is using it and take shorter showers. This will save
money and our earth for our future generations.

That is why I think you should start saving energy. I recommend that you should make sure running taps and other never used appliances and electronics like your netbook are turned off when not in use.

Fireworks description.

On one chilly night, exploding fireworks filled the sky. Red, Blue, Green, and orange filled the sky like a colourful rainbow. Boom, Crash, Boom. Fireworks exploding one by one. We were stricked by happiness and full of surprise. The smell of smoke ran through our nose while we were eating tasty sausage sizzles.

Power sources.

Have you ever wondered about how electricity gets delivered into your house? If your answer is yes than today is your lucky day because I can tell you everything you need to know about energy.

Mother nature.
Mother nature provides us with all the products we need to create energy. It  provides us with Fossil fuels, which includes natural gas, coal, and oil however fossil fuels can run out and that’s why people say that it is non - renewable because once it runs out, we can never use it again. Mother nature also provides us with hydroelectricity, solar, geothermal, wind power and biomass. These energy sources are great because they are renewable. Renewable means that it can’t run out so I suggest that people start using renewable energy instead of nonrenewable energy.
Power plants.
Power plants generates these energy sources and uses them to move the turbines around and around to help make more electricity. which goes along the electricity power lines then reaches to the substation. It then gets delivered to the grid where it goes to the transformer.  The transformer helps to take away some of the volts from 765, 000 to just 110 because if we deliver too much energy to your house, the fuse will explode causing a blackout.
Street power lines and your home.
The voltage from the transformer gets delivered to the power lines right in front of your house. and that’s where the long journey ends.

I hope you enjoyed reading this and hopefully you learnt something. exciting about electricity.

This is me and Sam playing and hanging out at the park..We decided to draw a tree because that’s where we usually end up resting, eating and we decided to draw the rubbish bin next to it so we don’t have to walk half way through the park just to put our rubbish into the rubbish bin. For the background, we decided to make it yellow because we like sunny days and we made the sky cloudy because we thought it would be cool to add some clouds.
