LAPtek Workbook – Using Hydraulics to Transmit Force
In this hands-on STEM unit, students explore how hydraulic systems can increase or decrease force, learning the relationship between pressure, area, and force. They investigate real-world applications, such as lifting heavy loads, and design sustainable solutions. Through planning, prototyping, and evaluation, students develop technical skills, work collaboratively, and produce high-quality prototypes while applying safe work practices.
