Under Pressure
Original Sim and Translations |
Topics
- Pressure
- Fluids
- Density
Description
Explore pressure under and above water. See how pressure changes as you change fluids, gravity, container shapes, and volume.
Sample Learning Goals
- Describe how pressure changes in air and water as a function of depth.
- Describe what variables affect pressure.
- Predict pressure in a variety of situations.
Teacher Tips
Overview of sim controls, model simplifications, and insights into student thinking ( PDF ). |
