ALTERNATIVE  A NEW OR DIFFERENT WAY

ANENOMETER  A DEVICE THAT MEASURES WIND SPEED. IT HAS 3 CUPS AT THE END TO CATCH THE WIND AND MAKES THE DEVICE SPIN. THE FASTER IT SPINS, THE FASTER THE WIND SPEED.

ATMOSPHERE  THE LAYERS OF GASES THAT SURROUND THE EARTH.

BIOMASS  ORGANISMS, SUCH AS PLANTS OR ANIMALS, THAT ARE USED AS FUEL.

CARGO  GOODS AND SUPPLIES CARRIED ON A SHIP.

EFFICIENT  DONE IN THE QUICKEST, BEST WAY POSSIBLE.

ENGINEER  A PERSON WHO DESIGNS BRIDGES, BUILDINGS, AND OTHER STRUCTURES

FORECAST  TO PREDICT, ESTIMATE, OR CALCULATE IN ADVANCE  THIS IS WHAT THE WEATHER MAN DOES WHEN HE PREDICTS THE WEATHER.

KILOWATT  A UNIT OF ELECTRIC POWER  ONE KILOWATT =1,000 WATTS

MEGAWATT  A UNIT OF ELECTRIC POWER.  1 MEGAWATT =1,000,000 WATTS

PESTICIDE  A CHEMICAL USED TO KILL HARMFUL INSECTS

POWER GRID  THE SYSTEM OF POWER LINES, GENERATORS, & OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT BRINGS ELECTRICITY TO HOMES & BUILDINGS  FUN FACT-TEXAS HAS ITS OWN POWER GRID. THE REST OF THE US SHARES ONLY 2 OTHERS!

PREVAILING WIND  THE SPEED & DIRECTION OF WIND OVER A PARTICULAR AREA ON EARTH’S SURFACE  THESE WINDS ARE USUALLY VERY HIGH IN THE ATMOSPHERE.

PROTOTYPE  THE FIRST MODEL OF SOMETHING—IT IS WHAT LATER MODELS ARE BASED UPON.

HYDROELECTRIC  ENERGY CREATED BY MOVING WATER, SUCH AS WITH DAMS OR WATER WHEELS.
