See what happens if you turn
the tap to make the water flow faster or slower. Can you also work
out how to use the power of the water to raise and lower the Styrofoam
cup? You could even try placing a small weight in the bottom of
the cup and seeing if the wheel can still make it move.
See if you can think of any
other ways that you could use this design. For example, can you
adapt your design to bring water to dry land where plants might
be growing? (That's called irrigation). You could even try adding
moving blades to create a small water turbine, which can generate
electricity - what we call hydroelectric power.
