Computational Thinking in Science and Math
II - What is pressure?
In this lesson, you will use a scientific model similar to the one you developed in the previous lesson. Using this model, you will observe the effects of pumping air into a bike tire.
The simple bike tire model will help us understand:
- Learning about the Kinetic Molecular Theory and its main assumptions
- Defining pressure (P) in a gas container
- Thinking about the role of gas pressure in real-life objects and events
- Considering the trade-offs of making simplifications when constructing computer-based models
