Students will take notes as Benson explains concepts related to atmospheric pressure (demo included) and then students will do a worksheet. If you miss this class watch this Can Crush Demo (YouTube video).

After a quick review of recent topics, Benson will do a demonstration and then students will do a "can-crush" activity. If you miss this class, watch this Fountain Demo (YouTube video) and check out the other links listed below for November 5th.

Students will do a lab ("Convection"). If you were gone, print the lab handout (Convection Lab) from this site, watch the videos of Part A of the Convection Lab and Part B of the Convection Lab, and do the questions on the lab handout.
