This lesson introduces students to the concept of air pressure. Students will explore how air pressure creates force on an object. They will study the relationship between air pressure and the velocity of moving air.

In designing airplanes, trains, cars, rockets and bicycles — nearly everything that moves through the air — engineers must understand Bernoulli’s principle. The forces caused by moving air enable an airplane to fly or a train to slow. Understanding how Bernoulli’s principle works enables engineers to take advantage of the nature of air pressure so their designs of these and many other applications function correctly, efficiently and safely. Understand the history of flight (basic facts about).Explain Bernoulli’s Principle.Understand the concept of air pressure and how the movement of air influences its pressure.Understand why engineers need to know about air pressure. 50TeachEngineering.orgTom RutkowskiAlex ConnerGeoffrey HillMalinda Schaefer ZarskeJanet YowellHixson, B.
