Presentation Transcript

  1. EARLY SCIENTISTS • Early scientists did not know about the three states of matter so they believed that all elements were made from earth, air, fire and water.

  2. TODAY SCIENTISTS KNOW! • There are four states of matter. • Solid • Liquid • Gas • Plasma

  3. GAS • A gas has no definite shape . • Particles of a gas move quickly, so they can break away from one another. • The amount of empty space between particles can change, soA GAS CAN VARY IN VOLUME!

  4. EXPERIMENT • Blow up a balloon but not too full. Tie it off. • Mark on the balloon where you will measure the circumference with permanent marker. • Measure the circumference. • Leave the balloon outside in the cold for 10 minutes. • Measure it again. What happened? Why?

  5. HOW DOES A HOT AIR BALLOON OPERATE? • How do the floats in parades compare?

  6. Gas behavior • Volume can change due to temperature and pressure.

  7. Helium • The amount of helium used to fill a parade balloon depends on the outside temperature.

  8. VOLUME • Volume is the amount of space an object takes up. • The volume of gas depends on its container. • If you tried to shape a balloon with gas, it would work • But if to tried to ahpe a balloon filled with water, it would explode!

  9. PRESSURE • Pressure is the amount of force exerted on a given area of surface. • Pressure of a gas is the number of times particles of a gas hit the inside of their container.

  10. BASKETBALL • A basketball has MORE particles of gas, closer together hat collide at a faster rate. • That is why it feels firmer.

  11. BEACHBALL • A beachball has FEWER particles of gas, further apart, and the particles collide at a slower rate. • It feels softer. • BUT it has the same volume of air as the basketball.
