6.5 starterDemo
· How I turned a needle into a compass to find my way out of the jungle...· 6.5 understand that magnetism is induced in some materials when they are placed in a magnetic field· 6.3 recall the properties of magnetically hard and soft materialsPractical
1. Stroke a magnet along a steel bar and an iron bar2. Try picking up some bar clips3. Bang both bars on the desk4. Now try picking up the paperclips again5. Repeat the experiment but this time put the bars inside an electromagnet instead of stroking themExplanation
· Steel is a magnetically hardmaterial. It retains its magnetism when magnetised· Iron is a magnetically softmaterial. It can be magnetised, but easily loses its magnetism

5.19 Boyle's Law (no gallery)
·5.19 use the relationship between the pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature:p1V1 = p2V2
p1 = Pressure at the beginning [kPa, bar or atm]V1 = Volume at the beginning [m3 or cm3]p2 = Pressure at the end [kPa, bar or atm]V2 = Volume at the end [m3 or cm3]
(Note: can use any units for V and p as long as they are the same at the beginning and end)

Why do the eggs get sucked into the bottles?!Explanation
· The burning paper in the bottle heats the air in the bottle· When the egg gets placed on top, the oxygen supply in the bottle is rapidly depleted and the paper goes out· The bottle is sealed by the egg and now has a constant volume of gas inside· The hot gas in the bottle now starts to cool which reduces the pressure inside the bottle· The pressure outside the bottle remains unchanged and so there is now an unbalanced force on the egg which accelerates the egg into the bottl
e· 5.17 describe the qualitative relationship between pressure and Kelvin temperature for a gas in a sealed containerInstructions
·Put 5 pumps of gas in· Set volume as the Constant Parameter· Heat to 1000K· Watch what happens to the Pressure
Conclusion
· If you increase the temperature, you increase the pressure

5.13 Starter·How can you fit a giraffe, 2 dogs and a swan into a standard laboratory beaker?!5.13 Starter 2· Use particle theory to explain why the gas in the balloon contracts
Explanation
· The temperature of the gas inside the balloon decreases so the average speed of the particles decreases· Consequently the gas particles collide with the walls of the balloon with less force and less collisions per second· Because the walls of the container are flexible, the volume decreases5.13 Charles' law28 October 201111:10· 5.13 understand that there is an absolute zero of temperature which is –273oC

Questions
· Why does the needle on the meter move when gas particles are introduced into the box?· What does the meter measure?
Answers
· The gas particles collide with all of the walls of the container. The wall on the right moves outwards and moves the needle.· Pressure. The gas particles colliding with the walls makes a force on the walls. The walls have a surface area so the quantity measured is pressure, p=F/A.
5.12+5.15 Questions·5.12 recall that molecules in a gas have a random motion and that they exert a force and hence a pressure on the walls of the container· 5.15 understand that an increase in temperature results in an increase in the speed of gas molecules
Because gas molecules are moving around at random motion, they eventually collide into the wall of the container, exerting force on its surface.http://www.lon-capa.org/~mmp/kap10/cd283.htmTry the animation
1. How do the particles create a pressure?
The speed of the movement of gas molecules increases due to the increase in average kinetic energy.2.If you increase the temperature, how does the movement of the particles change?
The collisions per second increases.3.If you increase the temperature, how does the number of collisions per second change?
The pressure increases due to the increase in kinetic energy, which increase the collision of gas molecules to the wall. As a result, more force is being exerted onto the wall of the container and therefore pressure increases.4.If you increase the temperature, what does this do to the pressure?
