Today was innovation day. It was very fun and we had to make something related to a renewable energy source. My group chose hydro electricity. We made a water wheel and a tri-fold. Here’s our project:
As you can see we have some things on our tri-fold so here are our topics
Problem
At the beginning we wanted to make a water wheel that could power something. We were scrambling for days trying to find a good model to make. Finally we settled on a good model. But we had to order things from India. Our original model was going to be a DC motor attached to a water wheel. Then we wanted to add a motion sensor to sense when the water wheel was moving and that would turn on a light. but we didn’t have the right materials so we had to completely restart so we settled on this water-powered ferris wheel.
Hypothesis
We thought that a water wheel would spin but the light bulb might not light up or would probably malfunction somehow. We thought that we wouldn’t even use it -which ended up happening
What Is Water Energy
Hydroelectric energy, also called hydroelectric power or hydroelectricity, is a form of energy that harnesses the power of water in motion—such as water flowing over a waterfall—to generate electricity. People have used this force for millennia.
That’s just a few of many of our topics and there are many more.
In conclusion I really like doing the innovation day project and it was really fun making a water wheel.
