## Description

Features: Learn about how different devices are used to extract useful energy. Build a waterwheel, a sawmill and a hammer mill to harness the energy of moving water to do different types of physical work. Learn about water pressure by building a water tower, communicating vessels and a water fountain. Construct a hydroelectric power station to generate electricity and light an LED. Learn about where the energy in ocean waves, tides and rivers comes. 32 page experiment manual offers illustrated instructions and scientific information. Ages 8 and up. Color and finish: Full color. Assembly instructions: Assembly required. Guide book dimensions: 5.5'' W x 8.25'' D.

Review: We did these model experiments with our kids as we're building a full size version at our home this spring - the model even gave us some great ideas for our version!
Review: This kit is wonderful! I have purchased a couple of hydropower science kits, and this one is my favourite. Pieces are sturdy, and the manual is easy to follow. My Grade 2 daughter loved putting this kit together for a Water Fair at her school here on Salt Spring Island. I especially like that the larger water wheel example teaches gear ratio principles.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is it for outdoors**
A: We put it in a tote inside at the science fair.  Not sure how long it would hold up outside.

**Q: How long does it take to build?**
A: Thank you for your question. It depends on the model and the building speed of the user. There are 6 different models that you can build with varying levels of difficulty. You can learn more here: http://www.thamesandkosmos.com/products/manuals/624811_hydropower_manual.pdf

**Q: Will a 6 yr old be able to use this?**
A: With some oversight, yes. It is an assembly where there are instructions that need to be followed, with some explanations and other tips in written form, so it is helpful if the assembler can read, understand, and fully comprehend. Once assembled, there are gearing changes and other adaptations that can be done by a 6-year old after he/she has a basic understanding of the actual workings of the generator assembly. We used this set for a 7th grade science fair experiment, so the assembly was 100% done by my then 13-year old son. But I followed along out of curiosity and I think it could be assembled by a younger set of hands with adult supervision.

**Q: The led broke on this contraption, and attaching a new led doesn't seem to work. i tried a 3ohm bulb with no success. suggestions?**
A: When mine broke, I thought it was the LED bulb, but it was actually the motor.  It is possible that is what is wrong with yours.

*by A***R on 4 April 2020*

Used this with groups in my class for a renewable energy week. The children are 6 and 7 so needed adult support to use it but end product was good. Led was broken before it got used which was annoying and the instruction booklet was deadly when it came to papercuts but apart from that it was a good purchase for the kids
