Materials: Plastic straw (preferably clear), marker, food coloring, water in a cup, meter stick or ruler, and multiple pieces of paper! You should be in a location that can get a little messy! We also will be using GOOGLE SHEETS!

Measuring Falling Water
Measuring Falling Water
Today you will explore potential and kinetic energy in action and how water used for hydropower turbines follow these principals.
This activity will use Google Sheets AND a hands on experiment where you will measure, calculate, and come to a conclusion. It is important that you use a Google Account for today's live session.
Something's to consider during this design period:
What happens to the size of the splash as the height from the ground increases?
Why is it important that the same amount of water is dropped each time?
What would happen if different amounts were dropped at different heights?
How does height affect KINETIC energy?
