Back in College Francoise DuPont, in Mrs. Jones' science class, Mrs. Jones has passed out an assignment to the class and they're working on it.
Alya: This looks easy enough.
Marinette: True.
Mrs. Jones: (seeing Mariah turning in her assignment) Thank you, Mariah.
Mariah: You're welcome. *She sits back down in her seat next to Samantha. *
Mrs. Jones: Better get my next class ready. *She puts the fourth period stuff ready to go after lunch. *
Max: So, the common example of evaporation is when a puddle of water dries up on a hot day, where the liquid water turns into water vapor and disappears into the air; other examples include sweat evaporating from your skin, wet clothes drying in the sun, or steam rising from a hot cup of tea - all of which involve a liquid changing into a gas state due to heat energy.
Kim: Okay, that part I get, but the others... not so much.
Max: Okay. *Will came up and turned in his assignment. *
Mrs. Jones: Thank you, Will.
Will: You're welcome, Mrs. Jones. *He headed back to his seat. *
Mrs. Jones: Students, just a reminder, I want to remind you all we have a test on the State of Matters. It will be on Friday. *A few groaned at that. * I'll have the study guide ready to go for you all tomorrow.
Alya: I don't know how many tests we have this week.
Marinette: Let;s not forget we have that history test today.
Alya: (groans) Ugh, don't remind me. *She rubbed her eyes in annoyance. In Ms. Fortune's class, Ms. Fortune went over her Physical science lesson. *
Ms. Fortune: Now, since you have rulers on your desk, I would like to show you all the lesson on a pressing engagement. We typically can not feel atmospheric air pressure. Why? Since air surrounds everything, including our bodies, the air pressure is applied equally on all sides. For example, if someone holds an 8½x11" sheet of paper by their hand at arm's length, the weight of the air directly above the sheet is over 1,300 pounds. However, that same pressure (14.7 pounds per square inch) is also pressing up on the bottom side of the paper. The equal pressure on all sides cancels out, so all that's left is the weight of the material that comprises the paper. Now, this activity will show students the effect of air pressure on two sheets of paper in a way that can be seen. The first thing to do is lay a ruler on a table with about 3" (8 cm) hanging over the edge. *They all lay a ruler on their desk with about 3" (8 cm) hanging over the edge. * Good, your ruler is hanging over the edge. Next, lay a sheet of printer paper on the part of the ruler in direct contact with the table. *They all lay a piece of printer paper on the part of the ruler in direct contact. * So far, so good. Press the paper against the table until it is as flat as possible. *They all press the paper against the table until it is as flat as possible. * Lastly, press down on part of the ruler hanging over the edge. *They all did that. *
Matt: What's the point in doing this again?
Bill: I don't know. This is a class assignment and you're willing to participate in it.
Matt: 'Remind me again why I have to take another science class this year?'
Ms. Fortune: I see you're all getting the hang of this little demonstration we just did, which is good. You may throw away your printer papers and I'll collect the rulers off your desk. *They did what Ms. Fortune said and they threw away the printer paper while she collect their rulers. * So, I hope you all enjoyed our little presentation on how that worked, I have one more thing to show you all before class is over. *She goes to her desk and writes down "Building a Weather-Ready Nation." and underline it. *
