This activity is an extension of the common balloon cars, where students explore if and how different gases used as a fuel source effect the distances traveled by the cars.
This is an activity where students watch what happens to marshmallows under pressure and relate it to Boyle's law.
This activiy with cartesian divers introduces the gas laws in a high school chemisry class.
This collection of videos, animations and documents comes from the NCSSM AP chemistry online course. Chapter seven provides practice and demonstrations related to gas laws in chemistry.
This is a lab activity where students observe the relationship between pressure and volume. They use their data to determine the formula for Boyle's Law.
Students will create their own barometer in this activity and use it to discover atmospheric pressure and its relationship to the boiling points of liquids.
This is an inquiry lab used as introduction to kinetic theory. It is also a great tool for assessing prior knowledge of the topic.
This is a lab designed to allow students to create and collect gas through a simple acid-metal reaction.
This activity is a mini-lab where students determine relationships between gas laws and temperature, pressure, and volume; particularly Charles and Boyle's Law. The concept of mini-labs originated from Dr. Dan Branan and Dr. Matt Morgan. See mini-labs.org for more details.
This activity is an indoor lab for use with Vernier gas pressure sensors that allows students to experimentally determine the molar volume of a gas and ideal gas constant.
This lab crushes an aluminum can to investigate states of matter and air pressure.
This physics course is for students who have not completed PHY1004W, to prepare them for PHY2014F and PHY2015S. VECTOR FIELDS IN PHYSICS: Vector calculus; div, grad, curl; line-, surface- and volume integrals; Gauss' Theorem; Stokes' Theorem; simple applications to fluid dynamics and electromagnetism STATISTICAL MODELLING OF RADIATION AND MATTER: Mathematical descriptions of solids, liquids and gases; entropy; temperature; the Boltzmann distribution; thermodynamics; statistical models of photons; statistical models in quantum mechanics, wave-particle duality. UCT PHY2009S
This investigation uses the relationship between volume and temperature to reinforce the ideal gas law. It also uses the data collected to find absolute zero.
