Whiteboard Task

1. Using diagrams, illustrate the process of boiling water. You should show the molecular activity at two relevant phases, a potential mechanism for making this happen to your system and a description of the process.
2. In your group, discuss how location can lead to differences in air pressure in the physical world. Illustrate a possible “maximum” and “minimum” pressure location.
3. Of the two locations that you picked, where will water have a higher boiling point? Explain.
4. Of the two locations, where will rice cook faster? Explain.

When you are finished, please check in with Frank. You will then receive a series of diagrams (Thinking about Gases) to discuss as a group. Start with the diagram you will present to the class.
