Water wheel construction
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, looks at the trigonometry and scale drawing involved in the construction of water wheels.
"A water wheel is a machine for converting the energy of flowing or falling water into useful forms of...
This resource is designed for teachers of 11 to 16 year olds, wishing to use the water industry as a context within which their pupils can use the technology process.
It focuses on water treatment, and water water treatment, examining the historical development and the provision of services in the third...
Water! Water!
This resource requires students to consider where their water comes from and what life would be like if it were not readily available. It examines the importance of the water we use being clean and the consequences if that water is not clean. Students investigate simple ways of making dirty water clean and...

Water, Water, Everywhere? (11-14)
This resource, from Siemens UK, encourages students to appreciate the importance of clean water and the problems that may arise in the absence of it. Students consider soluble and insoluble pollutants and methods of filtration. They then explore contamination by microorganisms, water-borne diseases and the...

Included are activities appropriate to five contributing subject areas of the Technology Curriculum, and to the...
These resources from the Institution of Engineering and Technology, produced in association with Fairfield Control Systems, explore the theme of waterways.
Wave amplitude and intensity
Comparing two sine waves of different amplitudes, this video shows that the intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude. The intensity is given I = P/A, i.e., power per cross-sectional area.
