  2. 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.

  3. ATMOSPHERE • THE LAYERS OF GASES THAT SURROUND THE EARTH.

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

  6. EFFICIENT • DONE IN THE QUICKEST, BEST WAY POSSIBLE.

  7. ENGINEER • A PERSON WHO DESIGNS BRIDGES, BUILDINGS, AND OTHER STRUCTURES

  9. KILOWATT • A UNIT OF ELECTRIC POWER • ONE KILOWATT =1,000 WATTS

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

  11. PESTICIDE • A CHEMICAL USED TO KILL HARMFUL INSECTS

  12. 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!

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

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