#3 Flow rate lab
concept | For an incompressible fluid experiencing non-turbulent flow, the volume flow rate through a tube of flow must be constant - no fluid can be created or destroyed, the total amount passing any x-section of the tube in any second of time must be the same. In equation form, this can be expressed as A1V1= A2V2. | Equipments | tubes or faucets with various radius water stopwatch |
purpose | students compare both the measured and calculated velocities and flow rates for different tubes or faucets. |

#4 Buoyancy lab
concept | The buoyant force is defined as being EQUAL to the WEIGHT of the displaced fluid. | Equipments | table clam pendulum clamp hooked cylinder beaker water ruler |
purpose | Students explore how buoyant forces affect the different mass and to graphically determine the buoyancy force and density. |
