Our tidal device plan is progressing...

We had two visitors in class the other week to give us some feedback about the drawings and sketches we had created for our tidal device. They were from Orkney Renewable Energy Forum and Scot Renewables in Stromness. In our groups we explained to them both how our devices worked. They then gave us feedback in our groups... they were impressed with our designs!

 We then started making adaptions to our designs...

 We have also been creating a name for the tidal device.

We have been thinking about materials that we could use to make the device. In our groups, we have also been discussing environmental concerns and using maps to decide where to situate our device.
