Ratings:
4- I understand enough to help others
3- I understand enough to work on my own
2- I still need some help
1- HELP, I am lost
Homework: complete lab report and bring in recyclable plastic- foam egg carton, empty and clean pop bottles, yogurt containers.

3. STEM Project
Water Wheel

4. The Challenge:
Create a Water Wheel that will lift a mass in a short period of time using the kinetic energy of running water.

5. Your Client Mr. P. Whaslia CEO of Deep River Pirate Philanthropy
His Challenge to Pierce Middle School Students:
Create a lift for the tubes of a new 80 foot tall water slide at Deep River water park. It has a Water Wheel next to it which can provide a way to lift tubes to the top of the slide, and produce a waterfall that is scenic and fun

8. What is a Water Wheel
A water wheel is a machine that converts the energy of flowing water into usable power. The axle of the wheel can be used to turn a device or it can be connected by gears to machinery or to generators to convert the energy into electricity
What are water wheels used for?
Mills were commonly used for grinding grain into flour (attested by Pliny the Elder), but industrial uses as fulling and sawing marble were also applied. The Romans used both fixed and floating water wheels and introduced water power to other provinces of the Roman Empire.
Waterwheels are machines that convert the energy of flowing or falling water into power that can be used to do other tasks. If you've ever seen waterwheels, you know that they are usually large wheels made of wood or metal that have many blades or buckets along the outside edge to capture the power of moving water.

10. Types of Water Wheels

11. Types of Energy

12. Information to know for your design

13. Definitions
Velocity: Unit of distance divided by time. Velocity is in a specific direction
Energy: the ability to do work
Work: force acting over a distance Work= Force x Distance (unit= Joule)
Power: work done over a period of time Power = Work/Time (unit= Watts)
