- Horizontal wheel with a vertical axis
- A jet of water that strikes the blades mount on the axle
- driving surfaces (blades)
- Water (low volume, high head)

The project is based on the following aspects of the Curriculum.

Subject : History

Strand : Continuity & change over time

Strand Unit : Energy & Power

If we were to do this project again

We would use a larger container for the water.

We would connect it to a power source that demonstrates the results more accurately.

We would use more child friendly materials for a classroom environment.

The finished product worked well. The group worked well collaboratively, resulting in a successful product. We were happy with the overall result and hope that the hard work and effort that was made, can be clearly seen.
