PERFORMANCE ASSIGNMENT                  S2b

Animating Intermolecular Forces (Boiling Point)

Using GIF Animator

 

Producing the practice graphics

 

  1. Using PROGRAMS – ACCESSORIES – PAINT  open a new file in paint, make the dimensions, 300 x 300.
  2. Using the circle tool draw a circle almost the size of the file space.

 

 

  1. Using the line tool divide the circle into quarters.

                       then     

 

  1. Using the paint can tool, fill each quarter, clockwise with red, then blue, then yellow and lastly green.  Save this as wheel1.bmp.

 

          

     wheel1.bmp                wheel2.bmp               wheel3.bmp             wheel4.bmp    

 

  1. Using the same file, and the paint can tool, rotate the colors one quarter.  Save as wheel2.bmp.  Repeat again and save as wheel3.bmp and wheel4.bmp.
  2. You should now have four files saved.  Close PAINT.

Animating the wheel

 

  1. Open GIF Animator select New from the File Drop Down Menu.
  2. From the Layer Drop Down Menu select Add Images browse to find wheel1.bmp and select.
  3. Continue to add wheel2.bmp, wheel3.bmp and wheel4.bmp in the same manner.
  4. With all the images added for the animation select Start Preview from the Task Bar.  The animation will preview until Stop Preview is selected.
  5. If a greater delay is desired between images, change the time allowed in the looping command box.
  6. Once the animation is completed select from the file drop down menu, save as.  At this point, the desired file name and saving location can be designated.

 

 

Animating the Liquid/Gas Phase Change

 

  1. Open Paint select OPEN from the File Drop Down Menu
  2. Navigate to the file called intermolec  template.bmp
  3. Open this file and begin by placing five molecular formulas in the liquid phase on the left side.  Place five different molecular formulas in the liquid phase on the other side of the container.  Save this file by selecting File and then Save As. Save this file with the file name, left.bmp.  Open intermolec template.bmp again and move each of the ten molecules to the right and either up or down.  Save this file as, right.bmp. 
  4. FIRST SET:  Open left.bmp and place the lowest temperature in the temperature box for both molecules, save as left#.bmp (# is the temperature.)  Repeat for right.bmp.
  5. SECOND SET:  Repeat step 4 and increase the temperature.
  6. THIRD SET:  Repeat step 4 and increase the temperature to the boiling point of the first molecule.  Place one molecule in the gas phase.  Repeat to the right.bmp, making sure to place the one molecule in the gas phase, somewhere to the right.
  7. FOURTH SET:  Open the left#.bmp made in step 6 and increase the temperature and place more molecules in the gas phase.  Repeat for right#.bmp, placing the molecules to the right side.
  8. FIFTH SET:  Open the left#.bmp made in step 7 and increase the temperature placing more molecules in the gas phase.  Repeat for right#.bmp placing more molecules to the right.
  9. SIXTH SET:  Open the left#.bmp made in step 8 and increase the temperature to the boiling point of the second  molecule.  Place one molecule in the gas phase.  Repeat for right#.bmp, placing the molecule to the right.
  10. SEVENTH SET:  Open the left#.bmp made in step 9 and increase the energy placing more molecules in the gas phase on both sides.  Repeat for right#.bmp.
  11. Open GIF Animator select New from the File Drop Down Menu.
  12. From the Layer Drop Down Menu select Add Images and navigate to find the first left file.
  13. Add three pair of the first left/right images that were made, six pair of the next temperature set and ten pair of each set afterwards.
  14. Adjust the time delay for each set starting with 70, then 60 and so forth.
  15. Preview the animation and adjust the time so that the molecules appear to move faster as the temperature increases. 
  16. Save the file in the folder called Animation under the name lastname.gif.
