Curated OER
Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Not many lessons on states of matter can hold a candle to this one! Junior chemists gauge the density of paraffin in both liquid and solid phases. They fill 60 mL syringes with different materials to experiment with compressibility and...
Curated OER
MTV no PTV
Students study the gas laws in particular the three variables; pressure, temperature and volume. In this gas laws lesson plan students complete an activity and discuss their findings.
Curated OER
Gases
In this gases instructional activity, students review the 3 states of matter, the types of molecular motion, and the characteristics of gases. This instructional activity has 30 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Floating Candles
High schoolers observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur. They also identify and interpret the relationship between pressure, volume, and number of molecules for gasses. Finally, students...
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...

Integrating Physics-Observing and Experimenting to Find Relationships
In this experimental relationship worksheet, students read about direct and indirect relationships between variables in experiments. They answer three questions about relationships between variables.
Curated OER
The Mole
Students investigate moles and Avogadro's hypothesis. For this moles lesson plan, students complete a worksheet by finding the volume of 1 mole of each substance given its density and they find the number of molecules, the formula, the...
