A Visit to the Science Lab

With the high school students away on field studies, grade two had a rare opportunity to use their science lab. Chemistry teacher Mr Midgley invited us up to explore some of the forces that influence weather patterns. Before beginning we discussed how:

Air takes up space.
Air takes up more space when it is heated.
Air takes up less space when it is cooled.

Air has mass.
Air has less mass when it is heated.
Air has more mass when it is cooled.

 

What a great session!

Thanks Mr Midgley!
