Monday, Dec. 15th: Kinetic Theory

Big idea: the kinetic theory of gas (motion related to temperature and therefore pressure and volume) can be used to explain things!

1. Review grades and grade sheets.
2. Quiz #12: Masses of Reactants/Products, Solutions, and Love Meter.
3. Remind students of kinetic theory of gases. Redo demo with hot and cold water and dye.
4. Crushed can demonstration. Explain what happened, using Notes #16.
5. Candle activity. Explain what happened, using the ideas from Notes #16.
6. Demo: website with changes in pressure, temperature, and volume. (Animated Gas Lab)

7. Assign homework, review big idea.

Homework: 1. Explain to someone how the love meter, the crushed can, and the candle activity work, and how they all relate to the kinetic theory of gases. Write what you say and 2 questions/comments from the person.
2. Trial 2 due Wednesday.
