Recently, we completed a male vs female science lab. The lab was called “The Water Squirt Challenge.” The lab was designed to test Bernoulli’s Principle: as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by that fluid decreases. Airplanes get a part of their lift by taking advantage of Bernoulli’s Principle. Race cars employ Bernoulli’s Principle … Continue reading Science Lab: Squirt Challenge

Table Lift
To prove air can be compressed, and that it is a powerful force, we conducted a table lift science lab. We turned this experiment into a team challenge. All four teams, by blowing into garbage bags, were able to lift close to 500 pounds (5 people standing on the table, plus the weight of the … Continue reading Table Lift
