TeacherGeek Advanced Hydraulic Arm Activity
Using the power of hydraulics, create your own robotic arm to clean your room, grab a snack, stack blocks, play checkers, or arm wrestle! This advanced STEM | STEAM activity includes eight cylinders (four to move the arm + four to form the control panel), along with additional components to inspire innovation. Incorporate recycling bin materials, 3D prints, or use the included parts to make the arm's grabber. Three different engineering challenges are available for download. Optionally learn about pressure, Pascal's Law, hydraulics/pneumatics, mechanical advantage and more with the Fluid Power Lab. Pack contains all the components you need, but TeacherGeek tool sets are required for student use. Lesson plans available for grades 6-12.
