NN STEM Day: What is air?

What is air?

Select Earth's atmosphere.

Ar

Select any of the models that respresent the different air molecules.

Air is the invisible mixture of gases that make up Earth's atmosphere.

Select the model that represents a nitrogen gas molecule.Each nitrogen molecule is made from two nitrogen atoms bonded together.

Select the model that represents an oxygen gas molecule.Each oxygen gas molecule is made from two oxygen atoms bonded together.

Select the model that represents a carbon dioxide gas molecule.Each carbon dioxide gas molecule is made from one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms bonded together.

Nitrogen (N2)

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Oxygen (O2)

Ar

Which gas makes up about 80% of Earth's atmosphere?

Ar

Yes! Nitrogen Gas (N2) makes up about 80% of Earth's atmosphere.Select one of the nitrogen gas molecules.

Ar

Nitrogen (N2)

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Oxygen (O2)

Which gas in the air do our lungs absorb when we breathe in?

Select one of the oxygen gas molecules.

Yes! All animals need to breathe in oxygen gas (O2) to live.Oxygen gas makes up about 20% of the atmosphere.

Ar

Ar

Select the carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule.

The atmosphere also contains a very tiny percentage of other gases, such as methane, water vapor, and carbon dioxide.

Try this activity another way!

Pie charts are useful when comparing parts of a whole.

Ar

Nitrogen Gas (N2) 78.09%

0.03% Other Gases to include Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Methane (CH4)

Argon Gas (Ar) 0.93%

Oxygen Gas (O2) 20.95%

Well done! Select here.

The Composition of Air

Drag the labels so they correctly show the composition of air on the pie chart. When the labels are correctly placed, a message will appear.

Ooh ooh! Studying the composition of the atmosphere (air) is a perfect time to use a pie chart!

Now let's investigate... Does air have weight? Does air take up space? Does air exert pressure?

Ar

Wonderful work learning about the gas molecules that make up our air!

Justin- do we want a pros cons concerning using the internet for generating just text or for all kinds of generative AI?Also, do we want to include a page that disucsses the pros and cons of using generative AI in general (for example, it might help people cheat or cause people to become less creative).

Large language models use lots and lots of data from the internetto make predictions about what words or phrases might come next.

Optional function to be placed IN a page to erase the saved notes and allow to start over on new pages.

Notes are saved in all pages where the text field is available

Keep this WITHIN each page where you want to see the note

Button to copy notes from Genially taken during the session.

Double-click to change the font size value of the text boxes on the same page. The two objects must remain grouped together. (Optional item)

Text area that can be copied and pasted as many times as necessary within the same page. Notes are kept on all page with the green box during the same session (until the page is closed).
