Office Mystery: Two cans are sitting on the table. One was just removed from the refrigerator. The other was in a box next to the desk.

What was different about the cans?

a)

The material of the can

b)

The amount of water in the air

c)

The temperature of the can.

Office Mystery: Two cans are sitting on the table. One was just removed from the refrigerator. The other was in a box next to the desk.

What observable difference can you see?

a)

The cans are different sizes

b)

One can is metal and the other can is plastic

c)

One can has water droplets and the other does not

3.
On the molecular scale, what is the water doing in the air?
a)
Moving away from each other
b)
Moving around each other, but staying close
c)
Moving in place
4.
Why are they doing this?
a)
The kinetic energy is a lot stronger than the attraction
b)
The attraction is a lot stronger than the kinetic energy
c)
The attraction is strong enough to keep them close, but not strong enough to hold them in place
5.
On a molecular scale, what were the water molecules on the can doing?
a)
moving away from each other
b)
moving around each other but staying close
c)
moving in place
6.
Why are they doing this?
a)
The kinetic energy is a lot stronger than the attraction
b)
The attraction is a lot stronger than the kinetic energy

moving in place
8.
Why are they doing this?
a)
The kinetic energy is a lot stronger than the attraction
b)
The attraction is a lot stronger than the kinetic energy
c)
The attraction is strong enough to keep them close, but not strong enough to hold them in place
9.

Add energy on the sim. What changed as a result?

the type of molecules
c)
the number of molecules
10.
How did molecules move differently?

a)
up
b)
down
12.

The molecules started moving

a)

a little faster

b)

a little slower

c)

a lot faster

d)

a lot slower

13.
Did it change phases?
a)
Yes- it changed to a liquid
b)
Yes- it changed to a solid
c)
No- it stayed a gas
14.
True or False- If I change the amount of energy, there will ALWAYS be a phase change

True
b)
False
15.

Transfer more energy out until it reaches 30 degrees Celsius. What happened?

a)
The molecules started going faster
b)
The molecules slowed down a lot
c)

The molecules slowed down just a little bit

16.
When the molecules slowed down, what did they do?
a)
They spread farther apart
b)
They stayed closer to each other
c)
They stopped moving
17.
Why did they do this?
a)
They were able to overcome the attraction
b)
They didn't have enough energy to completely overcome the attraction
c)
There was too much kinetic energy for the attraction to win tug of war
