So it is a mechanism that employs pumps and the compressive forces of air or water to raise big items with little force.<\/p>\n<p>Students construct a lifting platform out of inexpensive materials to learn how a hydraulic press works. Students will learn how a hydraulic press works and what it can do via exciting, age-appropriate activities.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, students will gain skills as they attempt to solve problems and collaborate with one another.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Click here to contact us&#8221; style=&#8221;3d&#8221; color=&#8221;pink&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fstem.edu.gr%2Fkentra-stem-education%2F|target:_blank|&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=&#8221;turquoise&#8221; icon_type=&#8221;entypo&#8221; icon_entypo=&#8221;entypo-icon entypo-icon-star&#8221;]<br \/>\nExpected Learning Outcomes<br \/>\nAt the end of the activities students will be able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They will describe how a two-syringe hydraulic system works<\/li>\n<li>They will mention the utility of the hydraulic system and its applications<\/li>\n<li>They will develop their creativity while building the hydraulic seesaw and hydraulic lift<\/li>\n<li>They will develop fine motor skills and cooperation with their classmates during constructions<\/li>\n<li>They will understand the importance of balance while lifting the platform<\/li>\n<li>They will be encouraged to experiment with hydraulic systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_message][vc_message icon_type=&#8221;entypo&#8221; icon_entypo=&#8221;entypo-icon entypo-icon-info&#8221;]<br \/>\n<strong>Program Information<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Class:<\/strong> 1st &#8211; 3rd Primary<br \/>\n<strong>Number of lessons:<\/strong> 1 lesson<br \/>\n<strong>Duration:<\/strong> 90&#8242;<br \/>\n<strong>Number of students:<\/strong> the whole class<br \/>\n[\/vc_message][vc_btn title=&#8221;Click here to contact us&#8221; style=&#8221;3d&#8221; color=&#8221;pink&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fstem.edu.gr%2Fkentra-stem-education%2F|target:_blank|&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1st &#8211; 3rd grade<br \/>\nStudents construct a lifting platform and learn how a hydraulic press works using simple materials.
