STEM Starters: Hydraulics
STEM Starters provide students with essential tools for hands-on projects. Combine these materials with everyday items to design and execute projects using creative exploration and the engineering design process. Engaging in this thought process allows children to problem-solve, make educated guesses, and learn without fear of mistakes. Perfect for individuals or small groups. STEM Starters: Hydraulics activity kit challenges students to create a hydraulic-powered device. Kit includes essential pieces and an 8-page guide. Students will use the engineering design process to create, evaluate, and redesign their machine until objectives are met. Includes enough materials to begin 6 hydraulic devices, 18 pieces in total. ESSENTIAL PIECES: (12) syringes, (6) lengths of vinyl tubing.
