Teaching ideas for the Hydraulic Mini Machines 4 in 1 kit How are pneumatics and hydraulics used in modern machines? 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.
