How's the Weather?
Young meteorologists explore different aspects of the weather while learning about measurement devices. They build instruments and then set up a weather station outside and measure temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, and...
Exploratorium
The Dipping Bird
If you have or want to order the dipping bird demonstration, it is useful for showing how evaporation and changes in the pressure of a closed system cause cyclical motion. After teaching about pressure, consider setting this little guy...
Curated OER
Air Pressure Demonstration
Eighth graders observe various physics experiments. They study kinetic theory and how a hovercraft works.
Curated OER
Under Pressure
In this pressure worksheet, high schoolers read about Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure, about vapor pressure and about collecting gases over water. They answer 6 questions using the concepts of Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure and they...

Pressure and Volume of Gases
Students investigate pressure and volume as they relate to gases. In this pressure and volume lesson plan, students observe multiple demonstrations related to air pressure. The develop an understanding of the relationship between...
Curated OER
Gas Law Practice Sheet
In this gas laws instructional activity, students solve ten problems using the various gas laws such as Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and the ideal gas law. Students demonstrate an understanding of the relationships between temperature,...
Curated OER
Honors Chemistry Ideal Gas Law
In this ideal gas law worksheet, students are given a problem to solve using a hot air balloon. They are given the volume, mass, temperature of the air inside the balloon and the temperature outside the balloon. They determine if the...
Curated OER
Are All Equilibria Created Equal
In this equilibrium activity, learners read about the factors that effect equilibrium in solutions such as the pressure of the solution, the temperature and the concentration of the solution. They answer three multi-part questions about...
Curated OER
Combined Gas Law Practice Sheet
In this combined gas law learning exercise, students use the temperature, the pressure and the volume of gases to find the unknown temperature, volume or pressure of gases using the combined gas law.
Curated OER
Relationships: Pressure, Volume and Temperature
Tenth graders investigate the relationships of pressure and volume and pressure and temperature of gases. In this gases lesson plan, 10th graders use an inflated balloon to show the relationship between volume and temperature of the air...
Curated OER
Weather Forecasting
Fourth graders explore the concepts of weather forecasting. Students locate the current weather in a specified city. In groups, they record the specified weather information and make predictions of weather. Students justify their...

Why Do Hot Air Balloons Float?
In this Boyle's Law instructional activity, students solve eight problems using the inverse relationship between the volume of a gas and the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature.
Curated OER
Why Do Hot Air Balloons Float?
In this Charles' Law worksheet, students solve 8 gas law problems where the pressure is constant and the volume varies directly with the temperature.
Curated OER
Weather
Students read a weather map. Using the local newspaper, Columbus Dispatch, small groups investigate that air has pressure and that temperature and pressure are inversely related in weather. They display their findings on a graph or...
Curated OER
The Air Around You
For this air worksheet, students will answer questions about the Earth's atmosphere, including the layers, air masses, and heat transfer. Students will explore how the difference in atmospheric temperature can create weather patterns....
Curated OER
Weather Map Challenge
For this weather worksheet students use a weather map to answer given questions. Students answer questions using map symbols and make predictions based on map. Students create additional questions with answers using the same map.

Charles’ Law
Searching for a relatively interesting way to demonstrate Charles' Law? Here is a lesson in which pupils heat air inside a flask and then cool the flask to quickly cool the air. They make observations about what occurs during the cooling...
Curated OER
Blowin' in the Wind
Students discover how wind is created on earth: changes in temperatures and air pressure. They list good and bad effects of the wind and make a weather vane and practice using it for 2 weeks.
PHET
Gas Properties
We can't see most gases and we can't see things at the molecular level — but that's about to change! A simulation shows pupils the activity of molecules in a gas. The simulation allows scholars to vary the volume, heat, and gravity in a...
Curated OER
Gases
In this gas worksheet, students convert within units of pressure and temperature, they solve problems using the various gas laws, they explain concepts as they related to the kinetic molecular theory and they discuss details of a...
Curated OER
Ideal Gas Law Worksheet
In this ideal gas law worksheet, students complete 8 problem solving questions to find pressure, volume and temperature of given gases.
Curated OER
Boyle's Law Lab
In this gas lab, students use a pressurized soda bottle with a closed end syringe to simulate Boyle's Law. They alter the volume and watch the effects on the pressure of the gas. They plot their data and answer eight post lab questions.
Curated OER
Gases Worksheet
In this gases worksheet, students solve twenty problems using the gas laws and their understanding of the relationship between energy and temperature and energy and velocity.
