  1. JaJacques Charles: Full of Hot Air Trish Stephenson, Bartlett High School Chemistry Kim Halyak, Carver High School Special Education

  2. Synopsis Synopsis: Students, you will take a field trip in a hot air balloon, a kernel of corn and in some car tires. You will discover what happens to the volume in your transportation vehicle when the temperature changes. This concept will introduce you to Charles’s Law and using proportion to solve these problems. Your tour guide will be the famous Jacques Charles who discovered the gas law, Charles’s Law.

  3. Getting ready for our trip….. Students, before we begin our Virtual Field Trip, we need to resize ourselves to fit into our travel vehicles. ABRACADABRA…..poof……you are now tiny air molecules. Now stay together and don’t float away!

  4. Holey, Moley, Air we go……. Students, you are floating in air. How does it feel? Are you scared? Q: What is keeping you up in the air? Q: How will you get back down? (Discuss these questions with your partner) Click on Stop 1 to get started

  5. Stop 1-”Up, Up and Away” Ready for our Balloon Ride?..... .HowStuffWorks: How Hot Air Balloons work

  6. Stop 2-Pop, Pop, Pop….. Now, you are air inside a popcorn kernel. Pretty crowded in there, isn’t it? Q: What’s going to happen to you when the popcorn is popped in a microwave? Q:Why? Discuss this with your partner quietly.

  10. Back to our old shapes… Well students, you have traveled as an air molecule in a hot air balloon, popcorn kernel, and in a tire…..how does it feel to be back to your old self? Now you know what happens to air when it is heated and cooled. Explain to your partner what you have learned today.

  11. Final Assessment • Students: • Answer the following questions in your science journal 1. Explain Charles’s Law in your own words. 2. Choose one of the situations and explain in your own words: a. How does a hot air balloon work? b. Why does popcorn pop when heated? c. Why do your tires deflate in cold weather?

  12. Assessment - Birthday’s over, I’m flat… • Problem: Bart’s birthday is over. Help him save his balloon. Where should he put it to keep it lasting all week? • In the freezer • In his room • In the sun room • It doesn’t matter where he puts it
