The following is a lab for you to explore how the temperature of water affects its behavior.
You will need, 2 glasses, hot and cold water, food coloring and a timer. If you have a thermometer that would add quantitative data as well.
If you do not have the materials a video is provided for you to watch instead.


Once the bottle is sealed with the bubble, does the amount of gas change?
Think of it like closing the lid on a cooler tightly.
DRAW what you think is happening to the PARTICLES?
At which temperature is the gas taking up more space?

You are now going to use the A/B Partner Protocol to share your ideas with a partner in a break out room.
1) Decide who will be Partner A and who will be Partner B. (Write this down in your journal.)
2) Partner A will have three minutes to go through the whole protocol.
3) You will then switch and Partner B will then have three minutes to share their ideas.
It is important that you use the sentence prompts in the protocol.


In your own words explain your response to the question: How does temperature affect the motion and energy of air? What evidence do you have for this from the labs?
Later, you will be adding to this response after watching a video and reading about matter.
Choose one of the following videos to watch.
Choose one of the following readings.
As the thermal energy (heat) increases, the movement of particles ______________.
As the movement of particles (kinetic energy) increases, the spacing between the particles ______________.
Once the bubble seals the bottle, is this an open or closed system?
