Water wheels

Ancient Greeks
KS2: Design, Technology, History, Maths, Team Work, Collaboration.

The Greeks invented lots of things. In this session we design and build working water wheels. We collect lots of data e.g. using 1 Litre of water we see how many times we can get the water wheel to turn and for how long.

 In this session we can include the following:
Maths: We use 1 l of water to see how many time the water wheel will turn and collect data.
Statistics: Record data in a table and use the collected data.
Technical Knowledge: Apply understanding of how to strengthen and reinforce more complex structures. Understand and use mechanical systems.
Science: Predicting outcomes. Fair tests. Diagrams.
