Hands-on Hydropower

Come explore the power of water by building models and conducting experiments with your very own Hydropower kit! With your renewable energy kit that you keep and take home, you can assemble up to 12 working experiments. Learn how different devices are used to extract useful energy, from a water wheel in a small stream to a giant turbine in a tidal power station! The full-color, 32-page manual offers illustrated instructions and scientific information. Build a sawmill, and a hammer mill to harness the energy of moving water to do different types of physical work! With your classmates, you will witness and investigate the intriguing properties of water involving surface tension, adhesion, and cohesion. Construct a hydroelectric power station to generate electricity and light an LED! Learn where the energy in ocean waves, tides, and rivers comes from, and discover how we can generate electricity from them. Come join in this educational and hands-on hydropower fun!
