Last week for topic I learned about hydro powered dams. Hydro powered dams are dams that create electricity from water. The way the dams work is that the water from a lake or river goes through a tunnel and pushes the blades which are connected to a turbine making them spin. The turbine is connected to a generator, so when it spins its powering the generator. The generator then passes through electricity to power lines which powers houses and buildings. Our school is powered by a dam called the Arnold dam which uses Lake Brunners water.
