A: The
Falkirk Water Wheel is a giant boat lift that moves boats to a higher
canal. It uses two wheels linked
together with rotating platforms that bring boats up to a higher canal. It was
very unique.
S: We saw
the Falkirk Water Wheel. It is a contraption to transfer boats from a canal to
a higher water way. It looks like a clock. It works with two buckets where a
boat can be. They are opposite each other – one up, one down. They rotate to
the right and one moves up and one down. I can’t believe that someone would
think of that.
E: There was
a playground at the water wheel. One spot had a bunch of water tools like
wheels that you spin to get water from one spot to another and Archimedes screw.
To collect water from Archimedes screw you ran on a treadmill that turns around
and the bottom part that is shaped like a cone collects water. It was really
fun.
