  1. Hydro electricity By Sam and Logan

  2. A Dam A dam is a kind of power station in a river that has a turbine in it so water turns it to make electricity. The energy then goes through the power lines to the community.

  3. How it Makes Electricity The river water travels through the turbine spinning the turbine and the generator in a corkscrew formation to make electricity.

  4. So just how do we get electricity from water? Actually, hydroelectric and coal-fired power plants produce electricity in a similar way. In both cases a power source is used to turn a propeller-like piece called a turbine, which then turns a metal shaft in an electric generator, which is the motor that produces electricity. A coal-fired power plant uses steam to turn the turbine blades; whereas a hydroelectric plant uses falling water to turn the turbine.
