Essential Vocabulary & Concepts
Picture Core Knowledge or Concept
force over area
Pressure  is a force spread over an area. 
Pressure (Force � Area)

Pascal (Pa)" the unit of pressure in Newtons/meter2

(i.e. the pointy end of a stick hurts more than the side of the stick)
squish
Fluid a substance whose shape can easily change.
Fluids are usually liquids or gasses.

In fluids, the particles (molecules and atoms) are not locked together and can move past each other.
depth
Pressure increases with depth and decrease at higher elevations or altitudes
This is because of the weight of the fluid above.

In space, there is no pressure. It is a vacuum.
puffer
Pressure in fluids are transmitted or distributed in all directions.

Because the fluids in our body have the same pressure, we are not crushed by air pressure or water pressure in the ocean.
fluidpressure
Pascal’s principle states that when a force is applied to a confined fluid (liquid) an increase in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid.
heart

Force pump is a device that causes a fluid to move from one place to another by increasing the pressure in the fluid.

Lungs and hearts works because fluids move from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure.

Because blood does not leak out of the system, it is called a closed system.

hydraulics
A hydraulic system multiplies a force by applying the force to a smaller surface area. 
It usually uses oil or water, fluids that do not lose force when compressed.

Systems that use air, like air brakes or air nailers are called pneumatic systems.

(i.e. your foot on a brake pedal can stop a truck)

Pistons or plungers are the devices at the ends of some hydraulic systems that transmit force outside of the system

hydro- Greek root for water
density
Density is the amount of matter in a given space.
Floating and sinking
Buoyant force: The upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged object that is less dense.
The property of an object to float or sink is called buoyancy.
archimedes
Archimedes' Principle states that the upward buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid the body displaces.
bernpas
Archimedes
Scientists

Blaise Pascal,,(1623-1662) French mathemetician and religious philosopher whose interest in the mercury barometer led him to climb mountains and experiment with pressure. He invented mechanical adding machines that predicted computers.

Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782) Swiss mathematician whosework with moving fluids is the basis of today's work with airplanes, submarines, water systems, and hydraulics.

Archimedes (287-212 BCE) Greek philosopher and mathematician. Supposed to have jumped out of his bath and ran down the streets when he discovered his famous principle of displaced fluids and buoyancy.

brakes
Technology

Hydraulic and pneumatic brakes in bicycles, motorcycles, cars, and trucks.
