Exploration 2 - Predict

Question

"Why does the plunger push back when I push on it?"

Model Rules

Your teacher will demonstrate a new model that represents the syringe. The blue wall will represent the edge of the plunger in the syringe. It is allowed to move back and forth within the piston depending what pushes or pulls on it. It can not move further then the edge of the syringe.

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

How do you think the motion of the plunger wall will compare when particles are put on only the inside or only the outside of the syringe compared to when particles are put on both sides of the syringe?
