Teach Engineering: Work and Power: Waterwheel

Curated by ACT

Investigating a waterwheel illustrates to learners the physical properties of energy. They learn that the concept of work, force acting over a distance, differs from power, which is defined as force acting over a distance over some period of time. Students create a model waterwheel and use it to calculate the amount of power produced and work done.
