About This Lesson
Picture your nearest river or lake. How do people use it? Are you happy with the way it is treated and its relationship to your community? In some areas, sources of water are being used as enormous batteries to help supply power to thousands of homes, schools and businesses.
In this PBS NewsHour lesson, students explore inventions that use the power of water. Students will then sketch, model or build an invention that uses renewable energy and also helps protect the environment.
