Key Concepts: Key Vocabulary:
WEATHER AND WATER: Investigation 2: Where’s the Air?
Approximate Timeline: 11 sessions
Standards Addressed: S1 C1 PO2, S1 C2, PO1, S1 C2 PO2, S1 C1 PO3, S1 C1 PO5 S1 C3 PO1, S1 C4 PO5 S6 C1 PO1, S6 C2 PO2
Learning Goals: The students will conduct experiments to determine that air has mass. The students will use a molecular model to compare gad at standard pressure and a gas under increased pressure. The students will explain how experimental results provide evidence that air has mass.
Extra Resources:
Atmosphere refers to the layers of gas surrounding the Earth.
Weather occurs in the troposphere. This is the layer closest to the Earth’s surface.
Air is matter and occupies space, it has mass and can be compressed.
The troposphere is a mixture of nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), & other gases (1%) including argon, carbon dioxide, & water vapor.

AIRAIR• In our first investigation we
used a variety of weather tools to measure weather conditions. Air plays a very important role in the weather. In the next few days we are going to look more closely at air to learn some of its properties.
![Page 6: LEARNING GOAL I will conduct experiments to determine that air has mass. I will explain how experimental results provide evidence that air has mass](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b437f8b9ab0599a23dd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
SYRINGESYRINGE• This is a syringe. You can
use it to investigate air. You can work with your syringe alone or with other students, but you should not use the syringe to annoy another student!
![Page 7: LEARNING GOAL I will conduct experiments to determine that air has mass. I will explain how experimental results provide evidence that air has mass](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b437f8b9ab0599a23dd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SYRINGESYRINGE• Things that annoy other
students:–Blowing the syringe in their face or anywhere for that matter
–Taking someone elses syringe without asking

SYRINGESYRINGE• See if you can answer these questions:–What happens to the air in the syringe when you push and pull on the plunger?
–What can air do?
![Page 10: LEARNING GOAL I will conduct experiments to determine that air has mass. I will explain how experimental results provide evidence that air has mass](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b437f8b9ab0599a23dd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Example: When you push the plunger down, the air in the syringe is pushed out the tube.
Example: Does air have weight?

Air ObservationsAir Observations• When you clamp the tube closed
and push the plunger down, what happens to the air?–The air is pushed into a smaller
space.• Is there more air, less air, or the
same amount of air in the syringe when the air is pushed into a smaller space?–Same amount
![Page 12: LEARNING GOAL I will conduct experiments to determine that air has mass. I will explain how experimental results provide evidence that air has mass](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b437f8b9ab0599a23dd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Air ObservationsAir Observations• What happens when you let go of
the plunger after pushing down?–The air pushes the plunger back
up.• What do you think happens to the
air when it is pushed into a smaller space?
• What happens to push the plunger back out when you release the pressure on the plunger?
![Page 13: LEARNING GOAL I will conduct experiments to determine that air has mass. I will explain how experimental results provide evidence that air has mass](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b437f8b9ab0599a23dd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
COMPRESSIONCOMPRESSION• When you push on the
plunger, the air is forced into a smaller space. We say the air is compressed. The same amount of air is still in the syringe when it is compressed.
![Page 14: LEARNING GOAL I will conduct experiments to determine that air has mass. I will explain how experimental results provide evidence that air has mass](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b437f8b9ab0599a23dd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
PRESSUREPRESSURE• Compressed air pushes back
with a force equal to the force compressing it. If the force on the plunger is released, the pressure in the compressed air will push the plunger out. The compressed air pushes back, and the push is called pressure!
![Page 16: LEARNING GOAL I will conduct experiments to determine that air has mass. I will explain how experimental results provide evidence that air has mass](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b437f8b9ab0599a23dd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
AIRAIR• Everything is made out of atoms and molecules, including air. The molecules in gases are free to move around throughout the volume of gas. There is a lot of space between the molecules in gases.
![Page 17: LEARNING GOAL I will conduct experiments to determine that air has mass. I will explain how experimental results provide evidence that air has mass](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b437f8b9ab0599a23dd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
AIRAIR• When a volume of gas is compressed into a smaller space, the molecules are pushed closer together. The number of molecules is the same; they are just closer together.
![Page 18: LEARNING GOAL I will conduct experiments to determine that air has mass. I will explain how experimental results provide evidence that air has mass](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b437f8b9ab0599a23dd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

AIRAIR• Molecules compressed into a
smaller space bump into one another more often, and this creates pressure. Pressure pushes in all directions, and if the force keeping the gas compressed is reduced, the gas will expand into a larger space and the molecules will get farther apart.

from?• How does air push the syringe
plunger out?• Why is air pressure so strong?

Does air have mass?Does air have mass?• Every object and substance in
the world is made of matter. Matter is the stuff that everything is made of. The amount of matter in an object is its mass. Mass is the measurement of the amount of matter in an object or a substance such as air. Mass is measured in grams.
![Page 27: LEARNING GOAL I will conduct experiments to determine that air has mass. I will explain how experimental results provide evidence that air has mass](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b437f8b9ab0599a23dd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Does air have mass?Does air have mass?• One way to confirm that
something has mass is to weigh it. Weight is pull or force between Earth and the matter in an object or substance. Weight can vary slightly at different places on Earth and can vary greatly on different planets.
![Page 28: LEARNING GOAL I will conduct experiments to determine that air has mass. I will explain how experimental results provide evidence that air has mass](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b437f8b9ab0599a23dd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Does air have mass?Does air have mass?• In outer space, away from
planets, objects become weightless, but their mass does not change.
• So let’s restate our question: –Does air have mass?–Is there any matter in a volume of air?

ANALYZE RESULTSANALYZE RESULTS• Blowing up a balloon requires forcing air against a resistive force of rubber. The elasticity of the rubber puts pressure on the air in the balloon. The air in the balloon is compressed.
![Page 34: LEARNING GOAL I will conduct experiments to determine that air has mass. I will explain how experimental results provide evidence that air has mass](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b437f8b9ab0599a23dd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
ANALYZE RESULTSANALYZE RESULTS• Compression pushes the molecules closer together. There is more air in the volume defined by the balloon than there is in an equal volume of uncompressed air outside the balloon.

ANALYZE RESULTSANALYZE RESULTS• Two balloons full of compressed air are balanced.
• When air is let out of one of the balloons, the air is no longer compressed.

ANALYZE RESULTSANALYZE RESULTS• The balance tips down, and the balloon full of compressed air sinks because it has more mass than the deflated balloon with very little air.
• Air has mass, thus air is Air has mass, thus air is matter!matter!
