The document outlines a 2 period lesson plan on Bernoulli's principle. It includes 3 stages: 1) hands-on activities to demonstrate how fluid velocity affects pressure, 2) a practical experiment and discussion of Bernoulli's principle, and 3) examining applications like airplane wings and answering worksheet questions. The goal is for students to understand that fluid pressure decreases as speed increases according to Bernoulli's principle through observation, discussion, experimentation and making connections to real-world examples.
