Fluid Force Station
True or False: Both hydraulic and pneumatic machines use pressurized liquid or gas to accomplish a task.
What is true?
This person invented Gatorade.
Who is James Robert Cade?
The tiny, invisible building blocks that make up everything in the world around us.
What are atoms?
This person created the Power of Water Game.
Who is Dillon?
True or False: Air is a fluid.
What is true?
What kind of pressurized gas do pneumatics use?
What is air?
The process in which water passively moves through cell membranes.
What is osmosis?
The structures formed when atoms bond together.
What are molecules?
The Power of Water Game was created using this coding program.
What is Scratch?
These kinds of shorelines are environmentally friendly and use vegetation, sand, and organic materials to stabilize coastal areas.
What are living shorelines?
Hydraulics typically use what kinds of liquids?
What is oil or water?
The mass of the water bead goes _____ after it has been covered in salt for 3-5 minutes.
What is down?
This is created when a strong force of attraction holds atoms together in a molecule, resulting from the sharing or transfer of electrons.
What are chemical bonds?
This is the process of wearing away and transporting soil or rock through natural forces like water, wind, or ice.
What is erosion?
AeroBags inflate faster when the inflator uses this strategy to blow up the bag.
What is hold the bag a few inches away from your mouth as you blow air in?
The name of Lonnie Johnson's famous invention.
What is the Super Soaker?
This is how long large Orbee beads must be hydrated before they are ready for on floor experimentation.
What is at least 48 hours?
Linus Pauling is celebrated in Molecular Builder for this reason.
What is he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 for his research on the nature of a chemical bond?
True or False: Moving the cursor as fast as possible across the screen is the best way to maximize your score.
What is false? To get a high score, move steadily rather than quickly. Erosion takes time, so the program will not record your points if you move too fast.
Agnes Pockels was doing this activity when she first became interested in surface tension.
What is washing dishes?
Hydraulic systems use pressurized _______ , while pneumatic systems use pressurized _______ .
What is hydraulic systems use pressurized liquids, while pneumatic systems use pressurized gases?
True or False: Guests may take a few Orbeez home with them with adult permission.
What is false? No Orbeez may leave the activity space.
These differences in molecular arrangement and motion categorize matter as solid, liquid or gas.
What is
Solids=molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in place.
Liquids=molecules are close together but have freedom to move around.
Gases=molecules are farther apart and move freely at high speeds.
Siddharth Pannir is the lead inventor of this portable hydroelectric dam product.
What is Adaptive Hydro?
This is a description of how desalination works.
What is desalination uses a water treatment process called reverse osmosis that forces water through a semi permeable membrane, leaving salt and contaminants on one side, and clean water on the other?
Salt molecules are larger than water molecules, making it possible for the membrane to be just the right size to allow water to pass through, but not salt.
