Fun with Bernoulli

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Fun with Bernoulli lesson plan also includes:
  • Fun with Bernoulli Worksheet
  • Activity
  • Join to access all included materials

Reduce the pressure in the classroom. The second instructional activity in an Airplanes unit of 22 introduces the class to Bernoulli's Principle. Pupils demonstrate the principle by blowing between different objects causing a reduction in pressure and observe the action of the objects.
