Name: ______________________________________ Date: ________________________ Student Exploration: Boyle’s Law and Charles’s Law Vocabulary: absolute zero, Boyle’s law, Charles’s law, Gay-Lussac’s law, Kelvin scale, pressure Prior Knowledge Question (Do this BEFORE using the Gizmo.) A small helium tank measures about two feet (60 cm) high. Yet it can fill over 50 balloons! How can such a small tank contain enough helium to fill so many balloons? The pressure inside of the tank is v...

Exam (elaborations) GIZMOS Student Exploration Roller Coaster Physics Vocabulary (refer to vocab file located on the Gizmo site for definitions): friction, gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, momentum Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Sally gets onto the roller coaster car, a bit nervous already. Her heart beats faster as the car slowly goes up the first long, steep hill. 1. What happens at the beginning of every roller coaster ride? You go up...

A small helium tank measures about two feet (60 cm) high. Yet it can fill over 50 balloons! How can such a small tank contain enough helium to fill so many balloons? Only a few molecules of helium are needed to fill a balloon because there are so many molecules in one tank. Gizmo Warm-up This Gizmo shows a container of gas. Inside, small purple spheres represent gas molecules. 1. Observe the particles for one minute. Are they all moving at the same speed? No, the particles are moving at d...

Vocabulary: controlled experiment, harmonic motion, oscillation, pendulum, period, spring, spring constant Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. A bungee jumper launches herself off a bridge. How would you describe her motion? When jumper launches herself, she falls quickly till the bungee stretches to its full length and rebounds continuously until it comes to a stop. 2. A child goes to the playground and gets on a swing. How would you describe his motion? When ...

Name: Date: Student Exploration: Energy of a Pendulum Vocabulary: conservation of energy, gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, pendulum, potential energy, velocity Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. A toy car is about to roll down a track, as shown below. At what point do you think the car will reach its greatest speed? Mark this point on the image. 2. A pendulum consists of a weight that is suspended from a pivot. At what p...

Crumple Zones_Gizmo - Student Exploration | Questions & Answers {100%} Student Exploration: Crumple Zones Vocabulary: acceleration, airbag, collision avoidance system, crash test dummy, crumple zone, force, kinetic energy, Newton’s laws of motion, safety cell, seat belt, work, work-energy theorem Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Two burglars run down an alley at night, trying to escape the cops. Jack is carrying a rigid metal safe. Jill is carrying an arm...

Student Exploration: Boyle’s Law and Charles’ Law Vocabulary: absolute zero, Boyle’s law, Charles’ law, Gay-Lussac’s law, Kelvin scale, pressure Prior Knowledge Question (Do this BEFORE using the Gizmo.) A small helium tank measures about two feet (60 cm) high. Yet it can fill over 50 balloons! How can such a small tank contain enough helium to fill so many balloons? The balloons don’t need a lot of helium, a small container can hold a lot of helium. Gizmo Warm-up The Boyle’...

1. Observe the particles. Are they all moving at the same speed? Yes they are all moving at the same speed. 2. How do the particles interact with the walls and lid of the container? The bounce off the walls and lid while providing pressure These interactions contribute to the pressure on the walls of the container. Pressure is defined as force per unit area. The SI units of pressure are newtons per square meter (N/m2), or pascals (Pa). 3. Slowly drag the temperature (T) slider back and forth. (N...

Student Exploration: Boyle’s Law and Charles’s Law Vocabulary: absolute zero, Boyle’s law, Charles’s law, Gay-Lussac’s law, Kelvin scale, pressure Prior Knowledge Question (Do this BEFORE using the Gizmo.) A small helium tank measures about two feet (60 cm) high. Yet it can fill over 50 balloons! How can such a small tank contain enough helium to fill so many balloons? The small container can hold all that helium in the container because the gas in the tank is under a lot of ...
