Principle
The deeper you immerse a body in a liquid, the greater the pressure that acts on it. In addition to the depth of immersion, the density of the liquid also plays a role.
Benefits
- Especially understandable and didactically prepared description of the experiment (relevance to everyday life, etc.) including protocol questions.
- Future-oriented teaching: Integration into digital science lessons with tablets or smartphones.
- Increased motivation of students by using the intuitive measureAPP.
- Increased media competence.
Tasks
- Determine whether the hydrostatic pressure depends on the direction in which you are measuring.
- Measure the hydrostatic pressure as a function of depth h.
Learning objectives
The students should learn that the hydrostatic pressure increases in proportion to the immersion depth.
