Today
we started learning about the behavior of gases and the factors that
affect them. Gases are lightweight fast moving particles that generally
have a lot of empty space between them. Because of this, they are easily
compressible (pictured left). If not contained, gases can spread (or
diffuse) to fill any size and shape container.
Gases
are affected by pressure, volume, number of moles, and temperature.
Changing any one of these variables, changes all the others.
Today
we also learned the formula for the Law of Partial Pressure. Basically
partial pressures add up to form total pressure. If the total pressure
is given then you subtract the partial pressures.

Today students began class with a BrainPop on currents and took the quiz.
Tim and Moby did an excellent job describing how currents affect global
weather ...
