About
Topics
- Pressure
- Water
- Fluids
- Fluid Dynamics
- Bernoulli
- Density
Description
Explore pressure in the atmosphere and underwater. Reshape a pipe to see how it changes fluid flow speed. Experiment with a leaky water tower to see how the height and water level determine the water trajectory.
Sample Learning Goals
- Investigate how pressure changes in air and water.
- Discover how you can change pressure.
- Predict pressure in a variety of situations.
- Determine how fluid motion affects the pressure.
- Figure out how to convert water pressure to water velocity.
