What do Pascal's law, Archimedes' Principle, and Bernoulli's Principle have to do with fluid mechanics? The included PowerPoint presentation provides the basic definitions and equations associated with the three. A set of homework...

Introduce your class to storage tank failures caused by major storms with an activity that looks at how the concepts of Archimedes' Principle and Pascal's Law affect the storage tanks along the Houston Ship Channel. The background...

Fifth graders create a Cartesian Diver model made from plastic soap bottle and medicine dropper.  In this incompressible liquid lesson, 5th graders experiment with jugs of water to demonstrate Pascal's Law, Boyle's Law and...

Students investigate what happens when a coin is tossed a few times versus many times. They analyze, in groups, the data from tossing coins, and the Law of Large Numbers.

Young scholars learn about locks and dams when it comes to blocking water. In this dam lesson plan, students learn about the structure, function, and purpose of locks and dams. They also learn about water pressure and gravity.

Students explore Bernoulli's principle, how it is related to flight, and the effect of lift, thrust, and drag on flight. They design and develop an experiment that tests for distance traveled by their paper airplane, and record and...

Students blow bubbles. In this bubble lesson, students use a bubble solution and straw to blow bubbles. They attempt to blow bubbles inside of one another and create a bubble frame. 

Eighth graders engage in a variety of activities in order to investigate the basic concepts of physics. They read and answer questions in a written text. This is only one type of activity that is part of many others.

Pupils identify and describe the building blocks that make up an atom. They also compare the ages of atoms to the ages of the materials they compose,as well as, give examples that illustrate the small size of atoms.

Learners are introduced to Pascal's law, Archimedes' principle, and Bernoulli's principle through problems and engineering applications.

Students are introduced to the structure, function and purpose of locks and dams, which involves an introduction to Pascal's law, water pressure and gravity.

Students learn about the basic fundamental concepts regarding fluid power, which includes both pneumatic, which utilize gas, and hydraulic, which utilize liquid, systems. Both systems contain four basic components: a reservoir, a pump or...

Students are provided with an introduction to above-ground storage tanks, which sets the stage for the real-world engineering challenge presented in the associated activity- to design new and improved storage tanks that can survive storm...
