Hydro power dyagram

WALT write an explanation of how a Hydro-power station works



Firstly you build a dam to block the river.Water then builds up behind the
dam.This is called the reservoir.Water then goes through the intake.Then water rushes down the penstock.Then the water pushes the turbine.The power goes in the generator and it all goes into the
power lines.Then the power goes through the power lines and then into the buildings.

Hydropower is a wonderful way of making power, it just uses water and it is renewable!

Photosynthesis

WAL about how plants grow and what they need to grow



My explanation of how Photosynthesis works:
To make a plant grow you need carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through stomata (tiny holes)in the leaves.
The plant also needs some water and sunlight,  which makes sugar and helps the plant grow.
