Heron's Fountain at Home
The objective of this module is to introduce students of grades 9th to 12th to the fundamentals of fluid mechanics through a Do-it-yourself module based on the popular theory of Heron’s Fountain. Interactive handouts have been developed whose aim is to guide students to understand the concepts involved through engaging questions which are followed by a step-wise procedure to construct the model at home.
