Title: M1 - The Big Picture - Fluid & Pressure
Course: Open PRO130 Instrumentation I > Section: Module 1. GETTING STARTED & INTRODUCTION TO INSTRUMENTATION

This module we will cover the information in Chapter 1 in your textbook in class.

Use the simulated Fluid & Pressure activity below to practice what you read about in the chapter and to prepare for future hands-on activity in the lab: Explore pressure in the atmosphere and underwater.  Experiment with a leaky water tower to see how the height and water level determine the water trajectory.

Other goals:

1. Investigate how pressure changes in air and water.
2. Discover how you can change pressure.
3. Predict pressure in a variety of situations.

Important Notes:

- If you need some help with how to manipulate the controls, see theTips for controls sheet.
- If you do not see a simulation above, go to this page at the PhET website
- You must have Java on your computer in order to run the simulation. You can download it free at this website:
