In this projects the engineers and education students partnered together to provide elementary students a fun and informative engineering lesson. With in this project we taught kids about the topics of Viscosity, Open-flow channels, and Friction. We were able to affectively communicate the concepts to the children, and perform an experiment with them. The experiment at hand was building a water slide and introducing different types of liquid with it to better learn the concept of viscosity and the effect it has on a fluids movement. We were also able to affectively demonstrate open-flow channel and friction.  We ran velocity calculations with this experiment to see the differences in fluids and slide design. At the very end of the project, the students were tested on their understanding of the three concepts.
