Students explore solar, wind, and wave energy and investigate the feasibility of various alternative energy options for Tillamook County. This program offers fun, hands-on activities that open students’ minds to potential alternative energy sources.
If you are a local Tillamook County School, contact Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS
(director@netartsbaywebs.org) for more information about field trip opportunities to explore the local biomes around Netarts Bay.
During this hands on field trip, students explore and investigate solar, wind, and wave energy. Rotating through stations on each topic and exploring how motors and generators work, this trip will help students start to shape their understanding of energy, creating energy, and harnessing energy in different ways.
This program was created in partnership with Tillamook School District #9 (TSD9) under the leadership of retired educator Clair Thomas. The Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS continues to sponsor these field trips in partnership with Tillamook School District #9 and Natural Resource Coordinator Amy Schmid. Opportunities may be available for other schools and classes to take part in this program. Please contact Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS (director@netartsbaywebs.org) if you are interested in learning more.
