2. We are learning today… techniques for making simple pneumatic systems
10th January 2008
We are learning today…
   how air pressure can be used to produce and control movement
   techniques for making simple pneumatic systems

3. 10th January 2008
What I’m Looking for…
   explain how simple pneumatic systems work using appropriate vocabulary
   are familiar with techniques for making simple pneumatic systems

4. How has it been used in the design of these products?
What does the air do?

5. We are going to construct a simple pneumatic system by joining a balloon to some tubing and then to a syringe. But first….

6. In your groups join a balloon to some tubing and then to a syringe to construct a pneumatic system like this…
Investigate:
What happens to the air when you squeeze the syringe?
What happens when you let go?
What happens if you put fabric over the balloon and then squeeze the syringe?
Can you lift a book with the balloon?
