Quarter 2 (2024-25)

October 14/15

Unit 3.2: Fluid Power

Objectives

• In Unit 3.2 Fluid Power, students learn the fundamentals of hydraulic and pneumatic fluid power. In the first activity, students explore the differences between hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Students are introduced to mathematical formulas and concepts that support fluid power engineering. In the next activity, students complete a problem set designed to challenge their knowledge of fluid power mathematics. At the end of the lesson, students are tasked with designing and building a working hydraulic system.

Classroom Activities

1. Prayer.
2. Activity 3.2.1 Under Pressure.

Homework

• Complete Activity 3.2.1 Under Pressure.
