Activity 7: Read and analyze each item carefully. Tell whether the situation applies the concept of thermal expansion. Write
YES if it does, otherwise NO.
_____1. Lina’s family went on a summer vacation. It was a hot day when they traveled. On their way, they noticed that a

_____4. John received money as a birthday gift from his uncle. He decided to buy a new pair of shoes. It was a very cold
day when he went to the shoe store. He was surprised because his feet, which he knew to be size 9, would fit in
size 8 shoes.
_____5. Jose tried to impress the audience in a talent show by bending a heavy metal rod and stretching a thick rubber
band.

Activity 8: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if the statement is wrong.
______1. Generally, substances contract when cooled.
_____2. When an object expands upon heating, its volume increases.
