Students investigate the reaction of an Alka-Seltzer tablet and water to determine the variables that affect the amount of gas produced from the reaction. They become familiar with the use of the gas collection apparatus. Students pick from one of two scenarios. Each scenario involves a gas evolution experiment. Students use the gas collection appartus from the first lab to collect data. Full Review »

Students observe water change from a liquid to a gas state when heated and then return to its liquid stage when cooled. They learn that gas molecules move faster than liquid molecules. They discover physical properties that describe how water reacts, feels, looks, and that those properties change when heat is applied or taken away. Full Review »
