Do Now! Can you continue with the questions you were doing last lesson (Expansion)?
Today’s lesson • Describe qualitatively the thermal expansion of solids, liquids and gases • Identify and explain some of the everyday applications and consequences of thermal expansion • Describe qualitatively the effect of a change of temperature on the volume of a gas at constant pressure
Expansion • Many substances expand when heated • When heated, the particles (atoms or molecules) in a substance vibrate more • This means they need more space • So the substance expands Heat
Heat Important note! The particles in a substance do not expand themselves! Particles are the same size
Contraction • The opposite happens when most substances are cooled • The particles vibrate less • They need less room • The substance contracts Cools
Solids • The expansion of solids is small but strong! Like me!
Expansion in solids This means that we sometimes have to take into account expansion

Liquids • Most liquids expand when heated
Gases • Gases expand a lot when heated! • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A843PL6Yejs&feature=related • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgTTUuJZAFs&feature=related
Temperature and volume of a gas at constant pressure • http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/gas-properties
Temperature and volume of a gas at constant pressure • When a gas is heated (at constant pressure), the gas expands. • Can you copy this please?
HOMEWORK • Due Thursday 22nd March • Finish Expansion, Evaporation and Gas pressure sheets
