- 3. 1. 2.3 liter plastic bottle 2. Ruler 3. Scissors 4. Marker
5. Craft knife 6. 1 awl 7. 1 cutting board 8. 2 corks 9. 1 wooden
barbecue stick 10. 1 fishing threadP. 3 11. Fishing sinker weight
about 1 oz
- 4. 1. Cut the bottom of the bottle 2. then cut 8 pieces of
blades with into 8cm deep. 4cm long x 2cm wide.4 Yunice Chee
G5L
- 5. 4. Cut slits with a craft knife and push a blade into each
slit, make3. Draw eight lines evenly on sure the strips all curve
in the one side of a cork. same direction.5 Yunice Chee G5L
- 6. 6. Cut a BBQ stick into 2 half and put 15. Cut away middle
the section of 1 side of half through to a hole and the end the
bottom, use an awl to make two hole goes to a side of cork, and the
other below the rim and big enough for a BBQ side is the same, to
hold the wheel in stick to go through & move easily. the
middle. 6 Yunice Chee G5L
- 7. 7. Use the awl to make a mark in the 8. On one side, tie a
fishing thread middle of the second cork, then put with the cork
and on the other the cork in either side of a stick. side with
fishing sinker. 7 Yunice Chee G5L
- 8. 9. Put the wheel under a tap, open the tap, the wheel will
rotate by falling water striking blades near top of the wheel and
lift the weight.8 Yunice Chee G5L
- 9. Water will turn the water wheelto move, so water is a
renewableresources.P. 9
- 10. Water can replace the electricity to provide the energy to
power a heater and so on.P. 10
- 11. 1. We will always need energy. Power plant burn the coal
and oil to make electricity which provides the energy to power a
heater but they are not renewable resources. However, water is
renewable resource can replace over time. 2. This experiment is
useful because using water wheel can reduce the amount of fossil
fuels needed in electricity. It is a renewable resource and will
not be used up. It also does not product air pollution. Air
pollution might affect our health and cause lung cancer.P. 11
