Water Power Hands-On Activity

Source: Teach Engineering

Description: Students observe a model waterwheel to investigate the transformations of energy involved in turning the blades of a hydro-turbine. They work as engineers to create model waterwheels while considering resources such as time and materials, in their designs. Students also discuss and explore the characteristics of hydropower plants.

Topics explored: a model waterwheel, the transformations of energy involved in turning the blades of a hydro-turbine
