Turbine Locations v.2 (OSTA)

Science starts with a question.  Questioning starts with observation.

This video is of a farm located in Woodward County located in NW Oklahoma.  It is a peaceful place and has been made even more relaxing with the wind farm.  New things are learned about a "place" by asking questions based initial through observations.

1. Consider challenging yourselves and make as many observations as possible, being sure to list each of them.  Challenge others to be the last to make the last observation.  Maybe before you start you might want to "define" what qualifies as an observation.
2. Once all observations have been made, try to make as many questions as possible, based on the list of observations.  Again maybe, as a group, you want to define what makes a good question.  

1. Common Core ELA Standards for Science/Technical: 11-12 > IKI > S.7
   Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., quantitative data, video, multimedia) in order to address a question or solve a problem.

   Information Sources (e.g.) Video	4 - Integrate (multiple sources of information)	4 - I can integrate multiple sources of information in diverse formats to address a question.	A. Information presented in diverse formats and media requires one to be able to integrate and evaluate sources in order to address a question or solve a problem.	A.1 What strategies may be used to integrate diverse sources of information? How might these strategies vary depending on addressing a question or solving a problem?

   Identify qualitative and quantitative changes given conditions (e.g., temperature, mass, volume, time, position, length) before, during, and after an event.

   Changes Quantitative Conditions Time Position	1 - Identify (changes in systems)	1 - identify changes in rate/time before, during, after an event. 1 - identify changes in position before, during, after an event.	Through qualitative and quantitative observations of a system reveals new information.	For a given event involving a system, what conditions should be observed? How do conditions change before, during, and after an event involving a system?

   Use appropriate tools with accuracy and precision (e.g., metric ruler, graduated cylinder, thermometer, balance, spring scale, stopwatch, probeware, graphing calculators, digital cameras, computer simulations) when measuring objects and/or events.
