Students will produce culminating pieces of work summarizing and extending their knowledge of Pascal’s Law. They will investigate the viscosity of fluids in relation to the efficiency and functioning of a hydraulic system of their design. Students will ask questions about their systems and develop and implement experiments to provide solutions to their queries.
