Building a Hydraulic Powered Lift

You will need to watch this all the way through first. Get the big picture. 

All the measurements you will need are in here but you will need to watch accurately to find them. Remember you can watch this as many times as you like and pause it to check your thinking.

Hydraulics Explained

Here is a link to a video that explains how hydraulics work.
Watch and listen and you will have more information to be able to write up our own experiments with the syringes.

States of Matter

Wow! Science is interesting.
Here is a video about the states of matter to help us understand why liquids work the way they do in the hydraulic system we made with the syringes.

Introduction to Hydraulics

Here is a link to some in formation. Your task is to collect some video and photos of the little experiments that we do today, then read the information in the page on the link provided. Also think about any of the discussions that we have.

Your job is to put together a presentation in Book Creator that explains how hydraulics work and why we use fluid and not air to make them.
