I. The following subject matter will be presented and discussed
during this segment on fluid pressure:
(a.) The concept of pressure, and the pressure exerted by a fluid.
(b.) Pascal's Principle
(c.) The units of pressure
(d.) The relationship between fluid pressure and depth.

5.)Fluid
- Definition: This is a nonsolid state of matter in which the atoms
or molecules are free to move past each other, as in a gas or liquid.
- Context:
6.)Density

3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1.Students will gain an understanding of key vocabulary terms with
100% accuracy.
2. Students will calculate the pressure exerted by a fluid with 90%
accuracy.
3. Students will also calculate the total pressure at a given depth
in a fluid of uniform density with 90% accuracy. |

|
4. Objectives-
|
1.Students will be able to identify and explain the differences
between liquids and gases.
2. Students will also be able to identify the proportional relationship
that exists between pressure and the depth in a fluid of uniform density.
3. Students will be able to state, understand, and apply Pascal's
Principle. |
