Classroom Resources: Gases

1 – 9 of 9 Classroom Resources

• 

  Gas Laws, Ideal Gas, Kinetic Molecular Theory, Stoichiometry, Partial Pressure | High School

  Lab: Determination of the Ideal Gas Law Constant

  In this lab, students will collect a gas sample over water and use multiple scientific principles including stoichiometry and gas laws to experimentally determine the Ideal Gas Law Constant (R).

• 

  Kinetic Molecular Theory | High School

  Demonstration: Diffusion of Particles

  In this demonstration students will experience diffusion, and then model the process of diffusion of microwave popcorn “flavor particles” in a room filled with still air.

• 

  Kinetic Molecular Theory, Gas Laws, Pressure, Volume | High School

  Demonstration: Inflate and Shrink Wrap a Student

  In this demonstration, students will observe two situations. First a student will be lifted off the desk as other students blow air into straws connected to a garbage bag in order to inflate it. Secondly, the class will observe a garbage bag shrink wrapping a student as a vacuum removes air from the bag.

• 

  Kinetic Molecular Theory, Temperature, Heat, Temperature | Middle School, High School

  Lab: Mega Marshmallows

  In this lab, students will investigate the Kinetic Molecular Theory and particle motion while experimenting with a marshmallow. Students will observe how an increase in kinetic energy will cause particles to increase in motion. This concept will be extended into a discussion about additional real world thermal expansion examples.

• 

  Gas Laws, Pressure, Temperature, Volume, Kinetic Molecular Theory | Middle School, High School

  Animation: Gases Animation

  In this animation, students will visualize how volume, temperature, and quality of a gas are related. This is done qualitatively and quantitatively. **This video has no audio**

• 

  Pressure, Gas Laws, Kinetic Molecular Theory, Temperature, Volume, Molecular Motion, Intermolecular Forces | High School

  Lab: Gas Pressure

  In this lab, students will understand what causes pressure in a container and the variables that affect pressure (volume, temperature, number of moles) by mimicking molecular motion of gases.

• 

  Kinetic Molecular Theory, Pressure, Gas Laws | High School, Middle School

  Simulation: Gas Law Variables

  In this simulation, students investigate variables of a gas. From the computer models, they can see how pressure, temperature, and volume effect gas behavior.

• 

  Kinetic Molecular Theory, Ideal Gas, Gas Laws, Volume, Temperature, Graphing, Accuracy, Error analysis | High School

  Lab: Finding Absolute Zero

  In this lab, students will experimentally determine the value for absolute zero in degrees Celsius.

• 

  Entropy, Kinetic Molecular Theory, Molecular Motion, Intermolecular Forces | High School

  Activity: Connecting States to Entropy

  In this activity, students use blocks to model different states of matter and the Kinetic Molecular Theory to understand the concept of entropy. This is a concept mandated by SAT level or AP level high school chemistry class.
