Team Five's learning how to be sustainable with energy with Vector

Year Five are learning how we can be sustainable with energy. Esther from Vector visited today. She's funny and so informative. Ask your Year 5 GEM what they learnt in her presentation. If you're a Year Five comment below with an amazing fact.



Did you know just one hour of sunlight could power all of Earth's electrical devices for a year? Wow! We're wondering how we can use more sustainable sources of energy in the future.

New Zealand's electrical energy generation is 84% from sustainable sources.  Wouldn't it be awesome if our car fleet was just as clean?

I wonder what solutions to being more sustainable with energy our Year Fives will come up with ...

  1. I enjoyed the pictures of the panda on the Chinese solar panels.
    I learnt about the different types of energies. Solar, marine, waste, oil. It was so cool!

  6. I think its worth buying electric cars like a Tesla because it only costs $2.00 or $3.00 to charge at home.

  9. It is so exciting to know all these ways to make electricity!

  13. I leaned that if put solar panels under the sun for a hour can make many power for one year.

  14. I enjoyed watching the water flow through the dam.It looked fantastic! It was like a waterfall but not falling downwards. I learnt that planes can have solar panels on them and they can fly through the sky with the sun giving the plane energy. And it's free!

  15. I liked the thought of getting enough water in the dam and then turning the turbo on and then you have got electricity

  24. hi I thought that the energy lesson in the hall. I learned that solar panels use the sun for electricity and that in china they have a lot of solar panels there and it was a farm with solar panels.It was so much fun and i hope that Esther has a wonderful rest of the day.

  25. Wow, it's amazing that you can fully charge your electric car for $0.00 if you have solar panels and the sun is there! You can also charge it for only $3.00 for man made electricity!

  26. Wow that was a amazing presentation about electricity.I learn't how electricity is made,That you can store electricity from the sun,also that you can generate electricity from lots of types of ways. :)

  27. I thought it was really interesting how that little car was powered by that solar panel, and that helicopter was awesome too.

  28. I loved learning solar panel and energy from solar panel it was fun!!!

  29. I learnt that you can store solar power in batteries and that most of our electricity comes from hydro dams.

  30. The section I liked the most was the part where the solar power powered the model helicopter's propeller. The most surprising part was when I realised that to get an electric car to full battery would only cost 300....... CENTS!!!!! Another surprising section was when I saw that wind only generates 5% of our energy and thermal energy had overruled wind!

    It was very interesting!!!!!!! -Kyra

  33. I enjoyed the videos you put on the screen and when you put the helicopter that powers up when it is under sunlight! I also enjoyed it when you got us outside and got that car with a solar panel attached to it.

  34. I was so amazed that if you full up a whole electricity car it will only cost $2 or $3. I was amazed that a wind turbine moves slow but makes a lot of electricity.

  35. I learnt that the Windmill's help with electricity in New Zealand is only 5% and Hydro's electricity is 59%.

  36. I learned that solar panels can do so many things! Like charge your electric car, and you can charge your phone too.

  37. I really enjoyed Vector coming to our school! I can't believe that a full charge can only cost 2 or 3 dollars!! And I also learnt that the sun can power the whole planet in 1 hour. (but then the world would have to be covered in solar panels).

  41. What I learnt from Vector.
    Well i never knew all the different types of Energy. It was super cool to watch the car and helicopter and how the solar power made them move.

    Thank you for teaching me new things.
