STEM Starters Getting Started Kit: Hydraulics

This activity kit challenges students to create a hydraulic-powered device using the engineering design process. When the essential pieces—plastic syringes, and vinyl tubing—are combined with the provided everyday items, these materials can be used to design and execute a project using creative exploration and trial and error. It's up to the young scientists to determine how best to utilize their hydraulic system. Using the engineering design process students will create, evaluate, and redesign their simple machine until their objective is met. Includes enough materials for 6 hydraulic devices.

By approaching a problem or a challenge with this thought process, children are able to make educated guesses, problem-solve, and learn without the fear of making a mistake. Perfect for individuals or small groups.
