The student will be able to identify air pressure and how it affects objects.

Relate the changes in temperature of gases to changes in pressure

Explain why pressure of a gas increases as temperature rises. 

1.  Without changing the size of a gas container, how can you increase the pressure of the gas inside the container?

2.  What can you do to increase the pressure of the gases in a tea kettle?

3.  How does the pressure of a gas change when the temperature changes and volume is kept constant?

To show students the affects of air pressure.  

Show the students a bottle that has a mouth that is too small for an egg to pass through.

 Set a small piece of paper on fire and drop it into the bottle. Place one hard boiled egg gently on the opening of the bottle, small end first. The egg may "dance" and wobble on top of the opening. Then, the egg will appear to be pulled into the bottle after the heated air from the fire has contracted.

1.  What do we call the pressure that pushes on all surfaces it touches.

2.  Explain how the egg dropped in the bottle.

3.  Define air pressure:

Predict the pressure of a gas when its temperature is specified. 

1. Create a presentation for the general public describing the behavior of gas in an empty aerosol can when it comes in contact with fire.
2. Design a warning label to be placed on every can that is manufactured. The label should include a logo and simple but catchy wording. Have students present their work.
3. Students could create a poster advertising aerosol safety. Hang the posters where others can read them.

Students will work in small groups, and  imagine that they are employed with a hair spray company that packages its products in aerosol cans.  

1.  Why is the following warning placed on most spray cans: "Do not place in hot water or near radiators or stoves. Do not incinerate, even when empty. Do not store at temperatures above 120 degrees F"?

2.  Why does a car tire's pressure increase during summer months?

3.  Explain the bumping of a lid on a pot of boiling water.
