SOLVE THE RIDDLE
I am all around, yet you can’t see,
I help you breathe, just like a tree. I fill up balloons and make them soar, I move the clouds and oceans to shore. I have no color, no taste, no sound, But lift a kite right off the ground. What am I? Observe the given picture and discuss "What do you think makes the balloon inflate?" "How is a balloon able to change in size?" ESSENTIAL QUESTION
Why do hot air
Why can't you balloons rise move your knee when the air in all directions inside is heated? like arms? When air is heated, it expands and becomes less dense. Since hot air is lighter than cooler air, the heated air inside the balloon causes the balloon to rise. This happens because warm air rises above cooler, denser air, allowing the hot air balloon to lift off. Scientific vocabulary • Pressure • Volume • Molecules • Compressed Think and Answer You’re hiking up a mountain and notice it’s getting harder to breathe. How does the change in altitude affect the air pressure and oxygen levels? Why does this happen?
As you hike up a mountain, the altitude increases, which causes
the air pressure to decrease. When air pressure is lower, there is less oxygen available in the air to breathe. This happens because at higher altitudes, the air molecules are spread out more, making it harder for your body to get the oxygen it needs. Check for learning / understanding Pick the Question
1.You are conducting an experiment with a sealed container of air and a
thermometer. When you heat the container, you notice the lid bulges. What does this tell you about the properties of air when it is heated? 2.Why do you experience shortness of breath when exercising at a high elevation compared to sea level? 3. Why do you need to inflate a tire to a specific pressure, and how does temperature affect tire pressure? Share your Learning….

A) Clear skies and calm weather B) Increased humidity and possible rain C) Cooler temperatures without precipitation D) An increase in air quality 5. You are in a sealed room with several candles burning. Over time, you notice the flames begin to flicker and eventually go out. What likely caused the candles to extinguish? A) The air became too hot. B) There was not enough oxygen in the air for combustion. C) The air pressure increased. D) The humidity level decreased. Exit Ticket- one minute paper
