Water Wheel Science Projects
(Science project) A science project is an educational activity for students in one of the science disciplines involving experiments or construction of models. Sometimes, students present their science project in a science fair, so they may also call it a science fair project.
waterwheel: a wheel with buckets attached to its rim; raises water from a stream or pond
waterwheel: a wheel that rotates by direct action of water; a simple turbine
A water wheel is a machine for converting the energy of free-flowing or falling water into useful forms of power. A water wheel consists of a large wooden or metal wheel, with a number of blades or buckets arranged on the outside rim forming the driving surface.

We have a science project going on in our house. Nora has vases filled with water, and on has a spoon of sugar, one has a penny, one has a spoon of bleach, and one is the control, with just water. We put roses in the vases to see which group would last the longest/stay the freshest.
It occurred to me as I was helping Nora set up her experiment that the words on the vases resonate with Daniel's diabetes care. What's your sugar level? How many pennies am I spending on diabetes supplies? Disinfect all surfaces (bleach)! Can we get your blood sugar in control?
Science Project
This is my son's science project from 7th grade (1999). The intention was to compare the weight supported by a suspension bridge and a truss bridge. The same amount of material (balsa and roadway) was used in both bridges.
Neither bridge failed under the weights that were added. Pretty impressive! As you can probably tell, the amount of weight on the suspension bridge wouldn't even fit on the truss bridge as built.
The washers are about 2 inches in diameter.
