Choose TWO ways to show that air is takes up space and has mass.
All balloons float away.
Air inside a closed syringe allows the plunger to move up and down.
Air inside a closed syringe keeps the plunger from going up or down all the way.
Pumping air into a container causes the weight to increase.
Pumping air into a container causes the weight to decrease.
In which layer of the atmosphere does weather occur?
Exosphere
Troposphere
Mesosphere
Stratosphere
Thermosphere
Which investigation would provide the best evidence to prove that air has MASS?
Close off the end of a syringe and measure how far the plunger can be pushed down.
Measure the force with which air pushes back on the plunger of a closed-off syringe.
Measure how much air different brands of balloons can hold.
Measure the weight before and after a balloon is inflated with air.
A student traps air in a syringe by clamping it closed at one end. Which models best represents what happens when the plunger is pushed down?
What happens to the air pressure outside of the balloon as it travels higher in the atmosphere?
increases (high air pressure)
decreases (lower air pressure)
stays the same
What happens to the size of the weather balloon?
increases (gets bigger)
decreases (becomes smaller)
stays the same
What happens to the number of air particles inside the balloon?
increases (more air particles)
decreases (less air particles)
stays the same
