=Big 6 Skills=

=1.1 Define the Information problem= In this project our group has to become a small company and create a product using alternative energy to power it. Our group chose water as our alternative energy. We need to make and answer questions to help us make a product. We also need to make a presentation, a scratch, and a glogster. Our product is a water wheel that your city can buy and put it in a local stream, creek, or river and it can power your house.

= = =1.2 Information Needed=

Set One
1. Q. How does water get converted into energy? A. Water gets converted into energy by a water wheel. The water wheel spins water and creates waves that gets turned into energy. 2. Q. Why is water reusable energy? A. Water is reusable energy due to the Potential energy in water. 3. Q. How does using cold water verses hot water save energy? A. Hot water needs to have heat. Heat is created from fire or something like that. 4. Q. Is it possible to make energy without any moving parts? A. Yes, it is possible to make energy without any moving parts due to compressed air hydro 5. Q. What things can be powered by water? A.Almost every thing can be powered by water because of water wheels, dams, and other devices. 6. Q. Why is there s uch thing as reusable energy? A. There is such thing as reusable energy because it will help the Earth and so it will not end in the next 500 years. 7. Q. How can we use water to create electricity? A. We can use water to create energy by harnessing the power of moving water in large rivers. 8. Q. Why is water energy important? It is important because it helps the economy from green house gases. 9. Q. How does water power a water wheel? A. Water powers a water wheel because a stream or river is pushing water into buckets or blades that turns the wheeel. The water wheel turns it into energy. 10. Q. How do hydraulic power pipes work? A. Hydraulic power pipes make energy by carrying pressurized liquid to transmit maniacal power from a power source.

Set Two
1. Q. What are the materials water wheels are made with? A. Water wheels are mainly made out of wood and steel. You could use other things aren't as important. 2. Q. What is the history of water power? A. First watermills, then hydraulic power pipes, then compressed air hydro. 3. Q. Why are water wheels called water wheels? A. A water wheel is a machine for converting the energy of free-flowing or falling water into useful forms of power, the development of hydro power. 4. Q. What can compressed air hydrogen do? //A//. It can generate compressed air without moving parts. 5. Q. What are hydraulic power pipes and what do they do? A. They carry pressurized liquid to transmit mechanical power from a power source. 6. Q.What is water energy made from? A. Water energy is created from water. 7. Q. Can water wheels be another shape besides a circle? If so what shape can it be? A. No, because if it is a square or any other shape it will not turn perfectly. Only a circle can be a water wheel because it has one smooth side.
