Instructional Ideas
- Divide the class into four groups and have them find fluids that exhibit one of the behaviors presented in the lesson
- Research as a class the types of fluids that biomedical engineers need to be concerned about while designing medical devices
Classroom Considerations
- The class should be familiar with elastic solids and how to calculate the modules of elasticity
Pros
- Includes a presentation to aid in the understanding of the material
- The the opening activity shows the association between the formula to calculate viscosity and Hooke's Law Equation
Cons
- The plan does not present a clear, engaging instructional method
