Hydropower has been used for hundreds of years in
watermills and is now commonly used to generate electricity in
applications such as hydroelectric dams and tidal power plants.
Explore the power of water by building models and conducting
experiments with them. Learn about how different devices are used
to extract useful energy from moving water — from a waterwheel in
a small stream to a giant turbine in a tidal power station.
Build a waterwheel, a sawmill, and a hammer mill to harness the
energy of moving water to do different types of physical work.
Investigate the intriguing properties of water by performing
experiments involving surface tension, adhesion, and cohesion.
Learn about water pressure by building a water tower,
communicating vessels, and a water fountain.
Construct a hydroelectric power station to generate electricity
and light an LED. Learn about where the energy in ocean waves,
tides, and rivers comes from, and discover how we can generate
electricity from them.
The full-color, 32-page experiment manual offers illustrated
instructions and scientific information. Ages 8 and up
