Curated OER
Buoyancy and Viscosity
Some of these beautiful diagrams should help your students understand the connections between pressure and flight. Pressure and density are also discussed, and a number of links are included to give fantastic interactive examples of...
Curated OER
Forces in Fluids
In this forces in fluids learning exercise, students identify the principles behind the forces acting upon objects in fluids that make them float, lift and spray.
