(APPLICATION)

 Hydropower uses the kinetic energy of flowing and falling water

H. Making generalizations
and abstractions about
the lesson
(GENERALIZATION)
to produce electricity.
 The most common approach to harnessing hydropower is to
build a high dam across a large river to create a reservoir.
 Some of the water stored in the reservoir is allowed to flow
through large pipes at controlled rates to spin turbines that
produce electricity.
 For decades, scientists nad engineers have been trying to
produce electricity by tapping wave energy along seacoasts .
 The up and down motion of these wave action generates
electricity.

Essay Question:

1. How is hydropower harnessed from flowing water?.

Rubrics:

(5 points) Exceptional – student responses far exceed what is expected

I. Evaluating learning
(4 points) Excellent – information is factually accurate and offers extra
(ASSESSMENT)
supporting facts.
(3 points) Good – The student somewhat responds beyond the basic
level of the question to provide supporting details and or interpretation.
(2 points) Fair – student responses, although somewhat correct, are
lacking in relevant details and supporting examples and or interpretation.
(1 point) Not Mastered - student responses are largely incorrect.

J. Additional activities for Make a summary of how hydropower is harnessed from flowing water
application or and cite the advantages and disadvantages of using hydropower.
