When I was teaching middle school science and we'd get to the internal combustion part of the book I'd bring in a piston from a weed eater, a 300 cid V-8 and an 800 cid six cylinder irrigation engine.
Led to some good discussions about size, mass, rpms, and more. Hopefully I got some of them to actually think :roll:0 -
