Four students in Workington in Cumbria in the U.K. read in the local newspaper about a plan to build six wind turbines on a local hilltop near to their school. The newspaper report said that some local people were objecting to the plan. The students decided to investigate the views of local people on wind power and the possible location of the wind turbines near to where they lived. The students investigated the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: Most local people think that wind power is a good way to generate electricity. Hypothesis 2: Most local people think that wind turbines should not be built on the hilltop.
