This activity is related to the lift force.
You only need a piece of paper to try it!
Can you think of a few similarities between a hospital and a factory? Based on a hospital-factory analogy, this presentation provides a novel way to innovate in the medical device field with manufacturing science and technology. Examples of medical device innovation to tackle the world #1 cause of death will be introduced.
Liquid is the material state whose shape depends on the container; on the other hand, solid material has a specific shape that resists the external force-induced deformation. Most of the time, we can tell if the material is liquid or solid by examining its response to external force. However, can you think of a material that can be both liquid and solid at the same time depending on how you interact with the material? In this hands-on activity, we will guide you to make a material that is between liquid and solid. When you gently and slowly poke the material, it is fluid like water but when you poke it hard and fast, it is elastic like a solid material. This material is categorized as a non-Newtonian fluid. In this activity, you will learn how non-Newtonian fluid behaves differently from conventional Newtonian fluid.
In this activity, we will demonstrate the essence of mixing through an activity of blending a couple of colored dough balls. You will learn how blending these balls can be accomplished by simply following the fundamental actions of mixing processes: repeated stretching and folding.
At National Grid, safety is in our DNA. To help promote electric safety, we created a seven-minute version of our electric live line safety demonstration. How much do you know about electricity safety?
Turning on the faucet, you receive water for washing your hands or taking a shower. How convenient! Modern technology allows for transporting water to your home from a reservoir far away from your home through pipes. Do you know how water is transported through pipe? Do you know how the geometries of the pipes affect the efficiency of water transport? In this activity, you will learn about the principle of pipe flow through a water gun activity. We will guide you to build a water gun with different gun lengths and experience the effect of gun lengths (or more specifically, pipe lengths) on shooting the water to the target.
Follow along as Jessica builds a wearable exoskeleton hand from straws, string and paper! The hand will be a model of the bones and tendons in your phalanges and will move as you pull on the strings!
See how TRINA, the tele-robotic intelligent nursing assistant can be operated using different interfaces such as a game controller, stylus, and motion mapping to complete tasks. Which interface do you think will work best?
From Here to There is an interactive touch-based application that allows students to dynamically interact with numbers and expressions. Rather than solving a problem by hand and typing in the answer, students can transform expressions or equations by dragging or breaking apart the number. These activities provide access to the rewarding and playful challenges of algebra and equation solving.
