Introduction

Use the ME-6984 Hydraulics Structures Set with members of the PASCO Advanced Structures Set to build mod-

els that move and do work. Build a fork lift, scissors lift, or hydraulic boom. Use sensors to measure the pressure

and temperature of the gas or liquid in the hydraulic system, and use a sensor to measure the amount of movement

of a structure as the hydraulic system does work.

Advanced Structures Set (ME-6992A) - This set contains structure members (see the table) for building cranes,

bridges, cars, catapults, and other models.
