Activity 5.1: showing the percentage of oxygen in air Observation: 1. The candle flame extinguishes after some time.

2. The water level rises to about one-fifth (1/5) of the air column in the gas jar. Discussions: 1. The burning candle uses up the oxygen in the gas jar. 2. The increase of the water level in the gas jar is an indication of the amount of oxygen used up in burning. Conclusion: About one-fifth (20%) of the volume of air consists of oxygen.

Activity 5.2 (A): showing that air contains water vapour Observation: 1. Colourless liquid droplets are formed on the outer surface of the test tube 2. The liquid changes the colour of dry cobalt chloride paper from blue to pink. Discussions: 1. When water vapour in the air comes into contact with the surface of cold test tube, it condenses to form droplets of water on the test tube. 2. The change in colour of cobalt chloride paper from blue to pink indicates the presence of water. Conclusion: Air contains water vapour.

Activity 5.2 (B): showing that air contains microorganism Observation: 1. The clear nutrient agar in the covered Petri dish shows no change. 2. White thread-like growth and black spot are seen on the agar in the uncovered Petri dish. Discussions: 1. Spores in the air have settled on the nutrient agar and grown into microorganism. 2. The colonies of the microorganism appear as white threads and black spot on the agar. Conclusion: Air contains microorganisms.

Activity 5.2 (C): showing that air contains dust particles Observation: 1. Dust can be seen on the cellophane tape after three days Discussions: 1. The dust particles in the air fall and stick to the cellophane tape. Conclusion: Air contains dust particles.
