Build the Turbine
Build the Turbine
Today you will work with your virtual teacher to jump right into your kit and build the hydro turbine! You have already learned through our research about the properties of water and how they relate to water's collection. Now you will see how that collection of water can translate to power! Make sure that you have your kit with you for today's design hour!
During today's activity, you will build the hydro turbine using the kit materials.
Once you have created and completed a basic test of your turbine, try it out! We recommend testing in a 'water safe' location like in a sink or in a big bucket with a pitcher of water!
For this DESIGN hour you will need to access TinkerCAD. It would be helpful to create an account ahead of time/ ask questions now! https://www.tinkercad.com/join
