2. Students solve problems by using mathematical logic but not the concept of
physics.
Implementing strategy:
Once upon a time, 6 little boys went to a jungle to search for a rabbit as
their pet. They were caught by a giant. The giant took them to his cave. The 6
little boys were blindfolded and were put into a metal cylinder with piston as
shown in the diagram below.
The giant cooked the 6 little boys in the metal cylinder as shown in the
diagrams below.
A B
The boys were blindfolded and moved randomly representing the random
molecular motion. Pressure was produced as the boys knocked against the wall of
the cylinder. The pressure produced is directly proportional to the rate of collision of
the molecules against the walls.
a. Does the number of the little boys remain the same in both situations?
Answer: same
Note: After this analogy, students are asked to carry out the experiment
from the Form 4 Practical Text Book.
From the experiment, students should be able to deduce
P
= constant, and explain absolute zero temperature.

Procedure:
1. Fill the 1000 ml measuring cylinder with water until the level marked D.
2. Put one end of the plastic tube into the water until it reaches the base of the
measuring cylinder.
3. Blow some air through the plastic tube into the water in the measuring
cylinder.
Questions:
