Teaching ideas for the Hydraulic Robotic Arm Wooden Kit
- How are pneumatics and hydraulics used in modern machines?
- Get a student to ‘program’ another student just by using voice commands. Can they lift an apple just by following instructions?
- Investigate how fluids act when under high or low pressure.
- What are Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion?
- If you change the fluid type in the syringes, does it make a difference to the lifting power of the machines?
- Can you lift as much weight if your syringes have air in them only?
- Create larger versions of these hydraulic machines using the designs that you see.
I just wanted to pass on how much the staff and students really enjoyed it and how perfect it was to launch our science week activities. The students were enthralled, educated and entertained – a perfect trifecta!
-Caulfield Grammar School – Big Science Big FunThanks so much for presenting at our school on Monday. Our students enjoyed the show.
-Greenvale Primary School – Big Science Big FunFizzics Education curated a thoughtful and hands-on experience for the children, incorporating practical, skill-based learning activities and followed by a science presentation at the end of the event involving liquid nitrogen. This was delivered safely and effectively, capturing both the children and the parents for the duration of the presentation.
-Macquarie Bank – Family Fun DayFizzics Education ran a show today at our school and it was wonderful. He was a great facilitator and the show was age appropriate and well done.
