12 Nov Water Wheel Inventions at TEECS
TEECS’ 8th graders, led by their science teacher, Ms. Suarez, were tasked with creating their very own water wheels that were able to run on their own for a short period of time. This project allowed for students to combine their knowledge from the different units on renewable resources, potential and kinetic energy, and types of simple machines (wheel & axle). The challenges presented to the 8th graders was to have some type of bottle and tubing to input water without students expending energy to continuously pour the water. Here you can see their creativity come to play with the structures of the water wheels.
