Hydro Electric Power Jessica Hinds, Debbie Terwilliger, Robert Sokol and Crystal Twitty

2 Summary Hydroelectric Power Objective
Working in groups students will use the equipment provided to build a waterwheel that will lift a paperclip 10 cm using 100 ml of H2O.

3 Activity Building a water wheel from the following materials:
a ring stand and clamp, dish pan, funnel, tubing, clamp, foam cup, plastic lids, spoons, medicine cups, pipette, water, string, paper clip.

4 Building a water wheel. DCI MS-PS3 Energy: PS3.A: Definitions of Energy, PS3.B: Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer ,PS3.C: Relationship Between Energy and Forces, ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting an Engineering Problem, ETS1.B: Developing Possible Solutions, ESS3.C: Human Impacts on Earth Systems. SEP: MS-PS3-3 Energy, Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions, MS- ETS1-1 Engineering Design Asking Questions and Defining Problems CCCs: Proportional relationships (e.g. speed as the ratio of distance traveled to time taken) among different types of quantities provide information about the magnitude of properties and processes.(MS-PS3-1), (MS-PS3-4), Models can be used to represent systems and their interactions – such as inputs, processes, and outputs – and energy and matter flows within systems. (MS-PS3-2) ,Energy may take different forms (e.g. energy in fields, thermal energy, energy of motion). (MS-PS3-5)

5 Suggestions for Improvement
Take students to the Great Falls to see a Hydroelectric Power plant in operation. Going on a tour of the falls to see how they used to use the raceways to power the factories in Paterson. Video segment: Build a device which generates electricity and lights a flashlight bulb. video segment: Hydroelectric Power virtual lab

6 Dimensions Working Together
Engage: Activity 1 (Building the water wheel) Explore: Activity 1 (Human Impact: Fish Ladder) Explain: (How hydroelectric power generates electricity) Elaborate: (Posing and answering questions) Evaluate: Analyze efficiency of their water wheel. (Competition)
