Do Now!

Can you continue

with the questions
you were doing last
lesson (Expansion)?

Todays lesson
Describe qualitatively the thermal
expansion of solids, liquids and gases
Identify and explain some of the everyday
applications and consequences of thermal
expansion
Describe qualitatively the effect of a change
of temperature on the volume of a gas at
constant pressure

Gather round!

Expansion
Many substances expand when heated
When heated, the particles (atoms or
molecules) in a substance vibrate more
This means they need more space
So the substance expands
Heat

Important note!
The particles in a substance do not expand
themselves!
Heat

Particles are the same size

Contraction
The opposite happens when most
substances are cooled
The particles vibrate less
They need less room
The substance contracts

Cools

Solids
The expansion of solids is small but strong!

Like me!

Expansion in solids
This means that we sometimes have to take
into account expansion

Expansion in solids
This means that we sometimes have to take
into account expansion

Contraction can also be a problem

Liquids
Most liquids expand when heated

Gases
Gases expand a lot
when heated!

Lets try an expanding worksheet!

Temperature and volume of a gas

at constant pressure

Temperature and volume of a gas

at constant pressure
When a gas is heated (at constant pressure),
the gas expands.

Can you copy this please?
