Physics+of+Pressure+Intro

Dear BP AutoTech Student,

Welcome to an //Introduction to the Physics of Pressure in Automobile Systems//. Here you'll find a vodcast presentation designed to give you an overview of the many systems in the modern automobile that manipulate either a gas or a liquid with pressure to achieve a desired outcome. After viewing the vodcast, you'll then be directed to engage in a variety of learning activities designed to familiarize you with some basic laws of pressure physics that you'll need to know as you progress through the automotive technology program. For now though, sit back and enjoy the presentation, because as you'll soon see, there's a lot to learn!

Now that you've seen the //Introduction to the Physics of Pressure in the Automobile// vodcast, you can download the three worksheets that go along with the presentation. The worksheets are in PDF format, so you should be able to open them with any computer. Print them out, then put your answers to the questions on seperate sheets of paper. The questions on the worksheets are designed to expand your knowledge about each of the systems addressed. You will, in all likelyhood, have to reference multiple sources of information to answer the questions. Your textbook will be your friend during this activity. When you have completed the worksheets, you may turn them in to me for grading.
