Revising Combustion • WALT: Conduct an experiment and answer some questions about combustion
What do you remember about combustion? • What is another name for combustion? • Burning • What 3 things are needed for combustion? • Fuel • Oxygen • Heat • What are the products of combustion? • Carbon dioxide • Water
We are going to take our candle burning experiment a bit further What you should notice: The light will eventually go out The water from the tray will rise up into the beaker after a few minutes Spend 2 minutes discussing why these things will happen with your neighbour. You will need to think about your knowledge of particles.
Why does the water level rise? • Because the oxygen gets used up • So the space inside the beaker gets replaced by water (once the air has cooled a bit) • This is a bit like suck back (by the way, what is suck back, again..?) • But you may ask, why doesn’t the space get replaced by carbon dioxide? • Because there is twice as much O2 used up as there is CO2 given off
Once you are finished, return to your seats and complete…. • All questions on page 35 and 36 of KS3 Science ‘Materials and their Properties’ (in full sentences)
