INTEGRATED BASIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

Project Title: Hydraulic Lift: An Application of Pascal Principle of Pressure

Subject: General Physics 1
Strand: Grade 12- Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
Quarter: Third Quarter

I. Rationale:
There are six types of simple machines. Three of them, the lever, pulley, wheel, and
axle, are very useful to engineers, as they make moving and lifting heavy objects easier,
just like using a wheelbarrow to move heavy objects from one point to another. Lifting the
wheelbarrow by its handles makes the job a breeze. Hydraulic Lifts make it even easier to
do the same task. A hydraulic lift is a machine that uses a force on either water or oil in a
piston to make moving heavy objects effortless. There are many examples of hydraulic lifts
around us, like the elevator, the dentist’s chair, cranes, and the brakes in a vehicle. A
hydraulic system applies force to an incompressible liquid at one end of a pipe through a
piston, which sends the fluid through the tube to another piston. The energy generated
depends on the size of the pistons.

II. Objectives:
• apply the Pascal principle in the making of DIY hydraulic lift;
• create a DIY hydraulic lift

III. Mechanics
1. This is a GROUP TASK. You will follow your Cleaners groupings.
2. Convene with your group and discuss the materials that you are going to bring to
make a DIY hydraulic lift. The materials are given below. See attached link for the
procedure below.
3. Create a hydraulic lift using two syringes, a length of medical tubing, and colored
water to make the lift move up and down. As there are many types of hydraulic lifts,
the one you are going to make is a Hydraulic Scissor Lift. It’s called a scissor lift
because its legs are a crisscross design. The length of the legs determines the height
that the platform on the top of the lift might reach. The legs pull together when
lifting objects and extend further apart when returning to their starting position.
4. Record the process of your DIY hydraulic lift through taking pictures of the
procedure. Please see attached format for your documentation below.
5. The DIY Hydraulic lift must showcase your creativity as a group through the use of
different art materials that could make your work more attractive.

Materials:
• Double-wall cardboard • Wooden
• Popsicle sticks skewers
• 2 x 30 cc/ml syringes • 12 pony
• 2 X 5 cc/ml syringes beads/push
• 1m/39¼ inches of medical tubing pins
• Glue gun/Super glue • Food coloring
• Ruler (any color)
• Scissors • Acrylic paint
• Pencil or marker • Paint brush
• Paper straws (optional) • Toys for testing the Hydraulic Lift
