can you make a prediction.
-First learn about combustion on the next slide.

Combustion: A process in which a
substance reacts with oxygen to give
heat and light.

• If candles are burning, they must be using
oxygen for combustion.
• If a jar is placed over a candle what will
happen to the candle?
• If a jar is placed over a candle what will
happen to the candle?
• If a jar is placed over a candle what will
happen to the candle?
• If a jar is placed over a candle what will
happen to the candle? Why?
• If a jar is placed over a candle what will
happen to the candle? Why? The flame went
out because during combustion all of the oxygen
gas in the jar was used (chemical reaction).
• Record this quick spreadsheet in your
journal to help you with your prediction.

• Activity! Predict how long the candle in the
medium sized jar will burn when a glass is
placed over it based on the amount of air
inside.
– Record the volume and time for the small and large.

• Why is the sky blue?
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• The sky is blue because…

• The sky is blue because…
– Nitrogen and Oxygen are small atoms.

• The sky is blue because…
– Nitrogen and Oxygen are small atoms.
– Red light (long wavelength) from the sun
passes by Nitrogen and Oxygen without
hitting them.

• Which letter represents the blue light that we
see, and which represents the red light?
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Answer! B represents the smaller wave
length of light scattering off of N2 and O2.
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Why then, are sunsets red, yellow, and
orange?
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Answer! The sun is not directly overhead
and passes across the atmosphere.
– The blue light is scattered out, leaving the
longer reds, oranges, and yellows.
