18WHAT HAPPENS TO TEMPERATURE WHEN WATER CHANGES
STATE?

warming the ice. MEASURE and RECORD the
temperature at 1-minute intervals.
19WHAT HAPPENS TO TEMPERATURE WHEN WATER CHANGES
STATE?

the beaker. Stir continuously as measurements are
made.
20WHAT HAPPENS TO TEMPERATURE WHEN WATER CHANGES
STATE?
- 2c. Continue to take measurements until you have
RECORDED at least 3 measurements after the water
is boiling.

total time of heating? EXPLAIN.
23TEMPERATURE AND SOME EFFECTS OF HEAT
24TEMPERATURE AND SOME EFFECTS OF HEAT
- 1. What is the composition of matter?
- Did you say atoms and molecules?
25TEMPERATURE AND SOME EFFECTS OF HEAT
- 2. In solids, what do the atoms or molecules do?
- In a liquid?
- In a gas?
26TEMPERATURE AND SOME EFFECTS OF HEAT
- 3. How do we measure how fast the motion of the
atoms or molecules? - Did you say temperature?
27TEMPERATURE AND SOME EFFECTS OF HEAT
- 4. Thus, how do we change the temperature of a
substance? - Add heat energy.
28TEMPERATURE AND SOME EFFECTS OF HEAT
- 5. Last time we heated a ball that would go
through a ring. - What happened when we heated the ball?
- It expanded and did not go through the ring.
29TEMPERATURE AND SOME EFFECTS OF HEAT
- 6. How does one explain the metal ball expanding
and not through the ring? - The particles vibrated faster and in so doing
occupied more space.
30TEMPERATURE AND SOME EFFECTS OF HEAT
- 7. Last time we saw foam balls in a wire cage.
- What happened when a fan was aimed to hit the
balls? - The faster the fan was turning, the further the
balls spread out.
31TEMPERATURE AND SOME EFFECTS OF HEAT
- 8. This is exactly what happens when the
particles in the metal ball was heated.
32TEMPERATURE AND SOME EFFECTS OF HEAT
- 9. What was considered a possible cause for the
electrical outage last summer? - Sagging electrical wires due to.
33TEMPERATURE AND SOME EFFECTS OF HEAT
- 10. What happened to the size of the foam balls
as they moved faster? - The size did not change.
34TEMPERATURE AND SOME EFFECTS OF HEAT
- 11. The model we have just described is called
the Kinetic model. - Kinetic refers to things that are in motion.
35TEMPERATURE AND SOME EFFECTS OF HEAT
- 12 This model explains why almost all solids,
liquids and gasses expand when heated and
contract when cooled.
