This project tests how the speed and pressure of moving water affect how much energy can be created. A water wheel was built and connected to a generator and light. By changing how fast the water flowed, the project showed that stronger water pressure made the wheel spin faster and helped produce enough energy to turn on the light.
Your ability to discover this knowledge at your age makes your work interesting. The organisation and interpretation of your data were nicely done. Your project demonstrates significant creativity in design, method and presentation.
Great job investigating how moving water can create energy. You clearly showed how changing the water flow affected the wheel and the light. Nice work sharing your results.
