Simulation of a Lorenz attractor which is shaped like a butterfly. Manipulate the image and observe from all sides as the orbits about two fixed points are drawn.

By the end of this section, you will be able to define buoyant force, state Archimedes' principle, understand why objects float or sink, and understand the relationship between density and Archimedes' principle.

By the end of this section, you will be able to define density, calculate the mass of a reservoir from its density, and compare and contrast the densities of various substances.

By the end of this section, you will be able to explain the concept of pressure in the human body; explain systolic and diastolic blood pressures; and describe pressures in the eye, lungs, spinal column, bladder, and skeletal system.

Discusses air flow around the wing of a plane and its effect upon the lift and drag forces. Focuses on the application of Bernoulli's principle to wing design and the subsequent airfoil shapes.

The wind blowing over your house, the Gulf Stream flowing into the North Atlantic Ocean from Florida to Europe, the jet stream at 10 km altitude. All these different flows in the atmosphere and in the ocean can be understood using ideas...

Students are presented with a short instructional activity on the Coulter principle, an electronic method to detect microscopic particles and determine their concentration in fluid. Depending on the focus of study, students can...

Athletes of all ages should drink fluids before, during, and after physical activity to ensure that they don't become dehydrated. Learn how many ounces of water and sports drink you should consume to keep yourself hydrated when you...

Students must determine the fluid pressure caused by a column of three immiscible fluids.

This environment has been created to allow students to discover the formula that links flow rate to properties of the faucet, fluid, planet and height.

This program asks students to determine the specific heat of a fluid based on the amount of temperature change that occurs when a hot object is placed in the fluid.

Students must figure out the number of people that can go on a raft without having the raft go fully under the fluid.

Students must figure out how much of a ball will be under a fluid when it is in equilibrium with its environment.

This environment has been created to allow students to discover the formula that links flow rate to velocity from a faucet and the radius of the faucet.

Students must determine the flow rate and speed of the water leaving a faucet based on the time it takes to fill a beaker to a certain height and the radius of the faucet the water is exiting from.
