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.

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!

students:–Blowing the syringe in their face
–Taking someone elses syringe without asking

Air Observations Discussion Air Observations Discussion QuestionsQuestions
• 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 11: Where’s the Air?. Objectives I can explain if air has mass. I can provide evidence to support my claim of if air has mass or not](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649cbf5503460f94984adc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Air Observations Discussion Air Observations Discussion QuestionsQuestions
• 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 12: Where’s the Air?. Objectives I can explain if air has mass. I can provide evidence to support my claim of if air has mass or not](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649cbf5503460f94984adc/html5/thumbnails/12.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 13: Where’s the Air?. Objectives I can explain if air has mass. I can provide evidence to support my claim of if air has mass or not](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649cbf5503460f94984adc/html5/thumbnails/13.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 14: Where’s the Air?. Objectives I can explain if air has mass. I can provide evidence to support my claim of if air has mass or not](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649cbf5503460f94984adc/html5/thumbnails/14.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: Where’s the Air?. Objectives I can explain if air has mass. I can provide evidence to support my claim of if air has mass or not](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649cbf5503460f94984adc/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: Where’s the Air?. Objectives I can explain if air has mass. I can provide evidence to support my claim of if air has mass or not](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649cbf5503460f94984adc/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.

• Review from Friday-
• What happens to air when is it compressed?
• Objectives:
I will design an experiment to prove that air does, or does not, have
mass.
I will provide evidence to support my claim.

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 26: Where’s the Air?. Objectives I can explain if air has mass. I can provide evidence to support my claim of if air has mass or not](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649cbf5503460f94984adc/html5/thumbnails/26.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 27: Where’s the Air?. Objectives I can explain if air has mass. I can provide evidence to support my claim of if air has mass or not](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649cbf5503460f94984adc/html5/thumbnails/27.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 37: Where’s the Air?. Objectives I can explain if air has mass. I can provide evidence to support my claim of if air has mass or not](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649cbf5503460f94984adc/html5/thumbnails/37.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.

• 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!
