2. Concept of Pressure
Session 1: ‘Fakir bed’ or the pressure applied on a solid
Objectives 1: Understand that the pressure is proportional to the surface on which a same force is applied
Session 2: Pressure /solid-liquid-gas
Objective 1 : Demonstrate that the pressure in the phase solid or fluid (liquid or gas) is different
Session 3: Pressure and Height – Experiment 1
Objectives 1: Observe that the pressure varies with the height of water.
Session 4: Pressure and Height – Experiment 2
Objectives 1: With this experiments students will observe that the pressure varies with the height of liquid, making the experiments from inside the liquid.
Session 5: Pressure and Density
Objectives 1: With this experiment students will observe that the pressure varies depending of the density of the liquid.
Session 6 (optional): Pressure of the air if you have a large height difference
Objective 1: Demonstrate that air pressure varies in function of the height
