In Activity 15, students will take the Vocabulary Test and the Post-test.

Activity 10 through Activity 15 require students to complete challenges to meet numerous high level problem-solving objectives. The objectives for the challenges in this module include:

Challenge 1

You will conduct research on a career of your choice in the pneumatics field. Share your findings in a presentation.

Challenge 2

Choose three people that experimented with the principles of pressure and then conduct research on each person and their associated invention.

Challenge 3

You will describe how a pneumatic device (tool, machine, etc.) operates and develop a schematic diagram.

Challenge 4

You will create a multimedia presentation about pneumatics, hydraulics, air, fluids, gases, or any combination of said areas.

Challenge 5

You will conduct an Internet search on a pneumatics related topic.

 

Carousel Plus version 8 has a new, beautiful and intuitive tab-based interface that gives you quick access to every facet of the program.
