Hydro-power Explanation.

WALT write an explanation of how a Hydro-power station works


.





A hydro-dam is an amazing structure that makes electricity from water!

Firstly you build a dam to block the river.Water then builds up behind the dam.This is called the reservoir.

Water then goes through the intake and it goes through the penstock.
Then next it goes to the turbine and the turbine spines fast.  Then it goes through the generator.

Then the power lines take’s the electricity to our houses.

Hydropower is great because it is renewable.

Coal Energy.

WAL about different power sources (where we get power from), and whether they are renewable or non-renewable:

Renewable (will not run out) energy source:
hydropower,wind,solar,biomass,geothermal.

CyberSmart

We have been learning what is personal and what is private information online.

Personal information we can share online   e.g. favourite things, hobbies, favourite food, first name, age
