Exploring Engels and Sucking: The Science of Suction

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will understand the principles of suction, including its application in nature and technology.

What do you already know about suction and its role in nature and technology?

What is Suction?

Suction is the process of creating a partial vacuum to draw in a fluid or gas. It is an essential concept in various fields, including biology, engineering, and everyday life.

Engels' Contribution

Engels, a renowned physicist, made significant contributions to understanding fluid dynamics and the principles of suction. His work laid the foundation for modern suction technologies.

Suction in Nature

Suction plays a vital role in nature, enabling organisms like octopuses and some fish to move and feed efficiently. Understanding natural suction mechanisms can inspire innovative designs in engineering.

Applications in Technology

Suction is utilized in various technological applications, such as vacuum cleaners, suction cups, and medical devices. These innovations rely on the principles elucidated by Engels and others.

Experiment: Suction Power

Conduct an experiment to measure and compare the suction power of different household vacuum cleaners. Students will observe and record the differences in suction strength.

Discussion: Real-World Examples

Engage in a discussion about real-world examples of suction in action, such as marine biology, manufacturing processes, and medical procedures. Encourage students to share their insights.

Quiz: Suction Concepts

Administer a short quiz to assess students' understanding of suction concepts, including its definition, applications, and significance in nature and technology.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
