KIDS Only? - Fun Stuff To Do - How Many Ways Can You Use a Buffalo? Put your mouse on different parts of the buffalo to discover how the Indians used everything from its beard—to its brains!

The Pilgrims talked a little differently than we do today. If you visit the Museum's 17th-Century English Village, you will notice that the townspeople say words you know in a funny way, or even say some words you don't know at all! That's because they are speaking in 17th-century English, not 21st-century modern English. Here are a few examples of English words, greetings and phrases that were used back then. Instead of "Hi, how are you?" "Good morrow" Press to listen "How now?" "How do you fare?" "What cheer?" Instead of "Excuse me," the Colonists might say: "Pray pardon me" Pressto listen Instead of "Congratulations!" "Huzzah!" Instead of "goodbye," the Colonists might say: "God bye to you" Press to listen "Fare thee well" Press to listen "Pray remember me" Press to listen Some more "new" words from old English: Instead of fireplace, say "hearth" Press to listen Instead of cat, say "mouser" Pressto listen Back to Top

Wave power Wave power is the transport of energy by ocean surface waves, and the capture of that energy to do useful work – for example, electricity generation, water desalination, or the pumping of water (into reservoirs). A machine able to exploit wave power is generally known as a wave energy converter (WEC). Wave power is distinct from the diurnal flux of tidal power and the steady gyre of ocean currents. Wave-power generation is not currently a widely employed commercial technology, although there have been attempts to use it since at least 1890.[1] In 2008, the first experimental wave farm was opened in Portugal, at the Aguçadoura Wave Park.[2] The major competitor of wave power is offshore wind power. Physical concepts[edit] When an object bobs up and down on a ripple in a pond, it experiences an elliptical trajectory. Motion of a particle in an ocean wave.A = At deep water. Oscillatory motion is highest at the surface and diminishes exponentially with depth. Wave power formula[edit] [b][10]
