Fluid Mechanics
Grade Level: High School 
Subject:
Physical Science

Using concepts borrowed from the earth and physical science classes, the data the students gather will show that fluid volume will be reduced exponentially as a result of a decrease in the diameter of the vessel. Other activities will show how the friction between the walls of the vessel and the fluid contribute to frictional resistance.
