21. What’s in our atmosphere’s air?
Show students Slides 11-15, which are about atoms and molecules in air.
Show students slide 11 and compare percentages of gases in air. Explain to students that even though they are very important, CO2 and water vapor make up only a very small portion of the molecules in air. Tell students that Argon (Ar) is an inert gas - one of the few elements whose atoms do not bond to other atoms in molecules. Ask students if this matches their ideas about what air is made out of.

Display slide 12. Ask students to write the letter of each image in the either the “atoms” or “molecules” column. Then have them check their answers with a neighbor. Accommodation: Do this activity as a class discussion. Ask students what they think and place the letter into the two categories.
Check for understanding. Ask students if the word “nitrogen” refers to an atom, molecule, or both.
Ask students: “What is the difference between a nitrogen atom and a nitrogen molecule?”

23. Three Facts about Atoms
Atoms last forever (except in nuclear changes).
Atoms make up the mass of all materials.
Atoms are bonded to other atoms in molecules.
Show students Slide 14 and tell students that they will need to remember these three facts about atoms in all Carbon TIME units.
Tell students that nuclear changes include reactions at nuclear power plants and changes that occur in the interior of the sun, but do not happen to common atoms on the Earth’s surface. In Carbon TIME units we treat “weight” and “mass” as equivalent.

24. Opening Activity: September 21, 2016
Copy into your notes page from yesterday:
RULES ABOUT ATOMS
Atoms last forever (except in nuclear changes).
Atoms make up the mass of all materials.
Atoms are bonded to other atoms in molecules.
1. Does air have mass? What rule above can you use to support your answer?
I can…
Review & practice rules about atoms. Practice observations & measurement for soda water losing its fizz.

25. Apply the Three Facts About Atoms to Air
Will the carbon atoms that exist today in CO2 still be carbon atoms in a million years?
Will the CO2 molecules that exist today still be CO2 molecules in a million years?
What are some important atoms in air?
What are some important molecules in air?
Use slides to ask students to apply the facts about atoms to air. Ask students to write down their answers to the questions on the back of their T-chart, and then discuss their ideas in groups.

26. Check Your Understanding
Do you think that people are made of atoms? How do the three facts about atoms apply to the atoms that we are made of?
Do you think that ethanol is made of atoms? How do the three facts about atoms apply to the atoms that ethanol is made of?
Do you think that flames contain atoms? How do the three facts about atoms apply to the atoms in flames?
Use Slide 18 to ask students questions to make sure they understand that the facts about atoms apply to all materials, including the materials that people and other living organisms are made of.
Ask students whether they think that people are made of atoms.
Ask whether the three facts about atoms apply to the atoms that we are made of. Many students believe that living things in general and people in particular are “special,” not made of just ordinary atoms like non-living materials.
Ask students if they think that ethanol is made of atoms. Have students recall the lesson where they watched ethanol burn.
Ask students if the three facts about atoms apply to the atoms that ethanol is made of.
Ask students if these facts apply to ethanol when it is burned.
Ask students whether they think that flames contain atoms.
Ask students if the three facts about atoms apply to the atoms in flames. Use this question to assist students in making the connection between matter and energy.

Show students slide 8 (Possible BTB Colors) to illustrate the range of colors that students will use to describe the BTB colors that they saw. Remind students that the BTB might represent any stage from the blue to yellow spectrum: bluish green, greenish blue, greenish yellow, or yellowish green.

32. Chemical equation for soda water losing its fizz
H2CO3  H2O + CO2
(in words: carbonic acid yields water and carbon dioxide)
