Product Details

Lift up your students’ understanding of Pascal’s law, hydraulics and mechanical advantage! First, challenge students to a Pascal-syringe “thumb war” using connected syringes filled with water. Then, after your victory, students will experiment with three different syringe systems to effectively learn about the properties of Pascal’s law and the mechanical advantage of a hydraulic system. Their results will clearly show why you won the “thumb war.” An excellent hands-on activity that not only brings science concepts to life, but also allows students to have fun while doing science! Includes reproducible student handouts, complete teacher notes and all consumable supplies needed to perform the lab.

Complete for a class of 32 students working in groups of four.
