Heart of the Matter
Hands-on experience with valves and water flow supports young researchers' understanding of valve operation. Attached resources for learners are text-dense; I'd break up the text into smaller pieces for groups to read and present...
Curated OER
Applied Science - Physics Pre-Lab
Learners observe fluid motion. In this Physics lesson, students explore the principles of Pascal, Archimedes, and Bernoulli. Learners list their experiences with fluid movement.
Curated OER
Viscosity Explorer
Students discuss and compare what type of fluids will fill up a beaker first. In this chemistry lesson plan, students differentiate between pouring glue and water and which will fill the beaker first. They discuss the viscosity of each...
Curated OER
The Drag of Drag
Students are told that any object moving through a fluid (air, water, molasses, etc) experience a drag force which oppose the motion. They are given the summarized version of drag which is proportional to the square of the velocity....
Curated OER
The Drag of Drag
Students are introduced to drag. Then they summarize drag by saying that the drag is proportional to the square of the velocity. Students then solve problems an example of such a problem: Explain why swimming underwater is faster than...
Curated OER
Surface Tension-Driven Flows
Students learn how surface tension changes can cause fluids to flow.
