Students learn how to find the pressure of an object as a compound measure of force and area.
As learning progresses, students use algebraic techniques to calculate the force or area when the pressure is known.
Differentiated Learning Objectives
- All students should be able to calculate pressure as a compound measure of force and area.
- Most students should be able to calculate pressure, force or area when given the other two measures.
- Some students should be able to convert between metric units of pressure.
