- Hydropower has been used for hundreds of years in watermills
- Today, hydroelectric dams and tidal power plants are used to generate electricity through hydropower
- Now you can explore the power of water by building your own models and conducting experiments with them
- Study the fascinating properties of water by performing experiments involving adhesion, cohesion and surface tension
- Ascertain where the energy in ocean waves, tides, and rivers comes from, and determine how we can generate electricity from them
- Discover how different devices are used to extract useful energy from moving water? a waterwheel in a small stream or a giant turbine in a tidal power station
- Build a hammer mill, sawmill or a waterwheel to harness the power of moving water to do different types of physical labor
- Construct a hydroelectric power station to generate electricity and light an LED light
- Build a water tower, communicating vessels, and a water fountain to discover the secrets of water pressure
- The instruction manual will provide you with scientific information and guide you through experiments with easy-to-follow diagrams
- All Thames & Kosmos sets are safety tested and approved, offer thorough saftey precautions, and come with full-color experiment manuals
- Correlates to Next Generation Science Standards
