How does it work?
Part of Lesson Plan: **Ingredient 2: Compression (updated) by Thomas Dougherty
Activity Overview / Details
Students will have a mechanical drawing of a four stroke cycle on their tables upon arrival with the question, "How does it work?" Also on the tables will be a single cylinder cutaway engine and an assortment of sealing components (piston, rings, valves, head gasket).
