| Description | Students learn about water pressure and how engineers design faucets. They build simple systems that model faucets and then experiment to see the relationships between pressure, area and force. Students learn all about water pressure and how engineers design faucets. Teams build simple systems that model faucets and test them to see the relationships between pressure, area and force. This is a great outdoor activity on a warm day and gives students experience in experimentation, design and teamwork. A student worksheet is provided for guidance and data collection. |
