Homework & Agenda V: 0 Today’s Agenda 1.Can Crush Demo and Anchor Video 2.Candle Lab 3.High and Low Pressure 4-square 4.Mapping Practice 5.Air Masses Reading and Card Sort 6.Outside Observations HomeworkDUE FRIDAY QUIZ NEXT WEEK

1. Draw and describe what you saw. 2. Copy and fill in the table below. 3. There are high and low pressure systems that affect the humidity and temperature outside. Based on what you observed in this lab, do high temperatures go with low or high pressure weather systems? Why? Anchor Video. Crushin’ It V: 1 TemperaturePressureDensityRising or Sinking Air? Inside the Can Outside the Can

Crushin It V: 1 OUTSIDE THE CAN -Cooler air -Higher density -Higher air pressure INSIDE THE CAN -Hot water -Low density -Low air pressure High pressure air tries to move into the low- pressure area in the can, but the opening is sealed by water.

Crushin It V: 1 OUTSIDE THE CAN -Cooler air -Higher density -Higher air pressure INSIDE THE CAN -Hot water -Low density -Low air pressure Pressure from outside the can is stronger than inside the can and pushes the sides of the can inward.

1.Put on your safety goggles and safety apron. 2. Put clay in the center of the aluminum pan. 3. Place the candle in the clay. 4. Fill the aluminum pan with approximately 2 cm of water. 5. When instructed, light the candle. Air Pressure Candle Activity V: 1

6.Allow the candle to burn for about 1 minute. 7. Swiftly invert the test tube over the lit candle so the opening of the tube is below the surface of the water but not touching the pan. 8. Hold the test tube in place for 3 minutes while you make observations. Air Pressure Candle Activity V: 1
