Teach Engineering: Bernoulli's Principle

For Teachers 9th - 10th
Bernoulli's principle relates the pressure of a fluid to its elevation and its speed. Bernoulli's equation can be used to approximate these parameters in water, air or any fluid that has very low viscosity. Learners learn about the...

Serc: Bernoulli's Balloons

For Teachers 9th - 10th
You hold up two balloons on strings of equal length about 5 centimeters apart and blow between them. They will come together because you weakened the force between them. You can do the same thing with the balloons about 30 centimeters...

Teach Engineering: Fun With Bernoulli

For Teachers 5th - 7th
While we know there is air around us all the time, we normally do not notice the air pressure. The purpose of this is activity is to use Bernoulli's Principle to manipulate air pressure so we can see its influence on the objects around us.
