Teacher 5 E Lesson Sample:
What makes a squirt gun squirt?
“YOU MAY NOT (THE LAST TIME) expect to find engineering and squirt guns in the same sentence. However, like many examples of engineering design, the squirt gun pump mechanism is uncomplicated, yet elegant, and very inexpensive to manufacture. The squirt gun may be purchased for a little as 33 cents. The type of pump used in squirt guns is known as a positive displacement pump. Positive displacement pumps are so called because fluid is trapped within the pump and then moved through-or displaced- in one (positive) direction. The design is widely used because of its simplicity and low cost. With only a few moving parts, it is able to deliver a stream of water, a spray of cleanser, or a squirt of liquid soap. The pumping mechanism of spray bottles, liquid soap dispensers, and squirt guns are basically the same. The International Technology and Engineering Educators Association standard,’ A product, system, or environment developed for one setting may be applied to another setting.’ (ITEA 2002, p. 49) In this lesson, we will examine how these simple, everyday pumps operate.

Historical Information
The first squirt guns were developed as toys in the late 1890s. They made use of a metal toy gun with a long tube that was attached to a squeeze bulb filled with water. To operate the gun, one merely squeezed the bulb. Trigger-type squirt guns were developed in the 1930s and were the main type of water gun until the 1980s, when Super Soaker types were introduced.
The same pump technology was used for a number of other purposes. While liquid soap had been around for some time, it was not until the 1940s that the first mechanical dispensers were produced (Kleinman, 2003). Aerosol dispensers require a compressed propellant and therefore must be packaged in cylindrical containers, while pump dispensers can be made in any shaped package. The propellants (chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs) used in aerosol cans in the past were harmful to the Earth’s ozone layer. In 1979, a liquid soap known as Softsoap was introduced and immediately became popular. Since 2003, foaming liquid soaps have become the latest fad. They make use of the same basic pump, but add air to the soap, which produces the foam.
Investigating a Squirt Gun: What Makes It Squirt? (Teacher Background Information)
Engage
Safety note: Students should wear chemical splash goggles for this entire activity.
Distribute one eyedropper and a cup of water to each group of three or four students. Only a small amount of water should be used: 3 oz. (90 mL) disposable cups partially filled. It is also recommended that student tables be covered with a bath towel. Ask students to see if they can determine how water is drawn into and pushed into and pushed out of the dropper. Have students explain in their journals what they had to do to operate the dropper (they must squeeze the bulb and then release the bulb under the surface of the water). Use this discussion to lead to the following Explore question: What makes a squirt gun work? Teacher E Lesson Sample and Student Response Sheet Paper
Explore
You made need one squirt gun for each group of three to four students. Prior to class time, you should remove the pump assembly from each squirt gun. This can be done carefully prying open
the two halves of the body of the squirt gun with a slender screwdriver. You made to cut through the glue holding the molded sides together. Once opened, the pump assembly can be removed in tact. The squirt gun should readily come apart. Keep the parts from each squirt gun in a clear zipper-type baggie. If none of the parts are lost or broken, the pumping mechanism can be reassembled and used over again with another class of students. You may wish to have a few extra squirt guns available in case some of the small parts are lost.
Have students determine which ends must be placed in the cup of water in order for it to squirt. One end will draw water in and the other squirts it out of the pump. If students put the squirting end in the water, the pump will not work. Focus students on trying to answer this question,
‘What makes the gun squirt and how does that compare with how the dropper works?’ The pumping mechanism is actually made of just a few parts. The trigger pushes in a piston and compresses a spring. The body of the pump has openings at each end. There are two halves, one at each end of the pump body, and they are often called check valves. A check valve is simply a one-way valve that allows fluids to move through in only one direction. There is a tube at the top of the pump body that leads to the nozzle and short tube at the bottom of the reservoir.
Explain
A major difference between the squirt gun pump and the rudimentary pump of the eyedropper is that the dropper takes in water and expels it through the same end. When the bulb is squeezed, some air is forced out of the dropper. Therefore, the pressure in the dropper is reduced; when the bulb is released under water, the higher atmospheric pressure forces water into the dropper. In the late 1800s, squirt guns were similar to a dropper in that there was a bulb that was squeezed for its operation. The squirt gun pump is a mechanism that moves water through itself in only one direction. It draws water in one end (when the trigger is released) and expels it through the nozzle end when the trigger is depressed. How does this work? Let’s consider the process step by step. The first time the trigger is depressed, air is forced out of the pump. When the trigger is released, the spring forces the piston open and the pressure in the pump is reduced. This causes both the valves to move toward the pump body, which causes the upper valve to seal against the body pump. The water entering the pump body pushes up the lower valve. The water remains in the pump until the trigger is pulled again. When the trigger is depressed, the pressure in the pump is increased, forcing the top valve (opening it) and pushing the lower valve down (closing it); the water is then forced out of the nozzle. Therefore, when the trigger is pulled, the top valve is open and the bottom valve is closed, but when the trigger is released, the top valve is closed and the bottom valve opens. Releasing the trigger repeats the process, filling the pump with water again.
After students taken apart the pumps, discuss their ideas regarding how the flow of water differs in an eyedropper and in a squirt gun pump. Ask students if they can determine the flow of water through the pump. Challenge them as to the purpose of the valves. At this time you may introduce vocabulary such as valve, piston, reservoir, and nozzle.
Students should have little difficulty determining the purpose of the piston, reservoir, and the nozzle, but this may be their first investigation of a valve.
Extend
Provide each group of students with the pumping mechanism from a liquid soap dispenser or spray bottle. If you reuse a cleanser bottle, make sure that it has been thoroughly rinsed. Empty bottles can also be purchased at most dollar stores for approximately $1 each. Students should conclude that although they look a bit different, these pumps function in the same way as those found in squirt guns. They all have some type of piston pump, a reservoir of liquid, a nozzle of some sort, and two valves. The valves may differ-you may have a flap, a disk, or other shapes. Note that once a device has been engineered, it can often be used, with minor changes, for many other purposes-in this case, everything from squirt guns to soap dispensers to spray bottles. You can ask students to find examples at home and share the results of this type of scavenger hunt with the class. Another principle of engineering also shown here is that designers have been able to make many everyday devices with very few moving parts and for low manufacturing costs.

Evaluate
Students should be able to make a sketch of the critical parts of their pumping mechanism from the Extend stage. They should label and indicate with arrows the flow of liquid. Each sketch should include a reservoir, a pump with a spring and piston, a nozzle, and two one-way valves.
Conclusion
A basic principle of engineering is to apply known technology to new applications. In this lesson, students investigate several uses for inexpensive positive displacement pumps. They also have the opportunity to try to invent their own use for such devices. This encourages students to become curious about how even simple things around them function. This curiosity may be the first step for students to develop an interest in engineering as a possible career.” (Moyer, R. & S. Everett, pp 109-113)
