Reading Across curriculum
Thermal expansion is an increase in material’s volume when its temperature increases. As the
temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles increases and they speed up
and spread out thereby increasing the volume of the material. Thermal contraction is a
decrease in a material’s volume when its temperature decreases. As the temperature
decreases, the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases and they slow down and get
closer together thereby decreasing the volume of the material. Thermal expansion and
contraction are most noticeable in gases, less noticeable in liquids and the least noticeable in
solids.
Answer the following questions
1. Illustrate a real-life situation (e.g., power lines sagging) using a comic strip to show
thermal expansion or contraction.
2. Compare and contrast how thermal expansion occurs in solids, liquids, and gases.
3. Assess why expansion joints are necessary in roads and bridges, especially in places like
the UAE.
Next level question-
Choose any one and answer
1. Analyze a real-world scenario where both physical and chemical changes occur
simultaneously. Describe the changes and their implications.
2.
Analyze how thermal expansion and contraction of water contribute to the bursting
of hot water pipes in winter. Why does this occur more frequently in colder
climates?
3.
Analyze the biochemical processes involved in the browning of fruits and evaluate
different methods used to prevent or slow down this reaction. Which method do
you think is the most effective, and why?
