Properties in measurement, pressure and viscosity of solids, liquids, and gases are the main topics covered in this slideshow. The explanations of Pascal's, Bernoulli's, and the Venturi effects are very clear. Easy to understand diagrams...

Does it feel a little humid in here? Learners assume the role of water vapor in the atmosphere as they explore the differences between warm and cold air. They roll dice to determine their level of energy, which determines if they...

In 1879, Sir William Crookes discovered the fourth state of matter, plasma. The presentation covers states of matter, phase changes, density, pressure Pascal's Principle, buoyant force, Archimedes' Principle, Bernoulli's Principle,...

The Environmental Protection Agency monitors sensors to track air pollution and set clean air standards. Enthusiastic young scientists use similar sensors to gather data in their area and then apply the gas laws and conservation of...

Eighth graders observe various physics experiments. They study kinetic theory and how a hovercraft works.

Young scholars explore the science and sport of scuba diving. In this scuba diving lesson plan, students build Cartesian divers and observe their behavior under water pressure.

Students attempt to blow a wad of paper into a soda bottle.  For this physics lesson, students discover that air pressure inside of a soda bottle prevents new air from going in.

Students experience pressure as a force per unit area in this experiment with a board of nails. In this physics lesson, students discover Boyle's law as they perform experiments with pressure.

In this ideal gas law worksheet, students watch a demonstration using liquid nitrogen, a plastic 2 liter bottle and a garbage can of water that excites students to use the ideal gas law to solve problems. Students analyze the results of...

Third graders explore the work of Daniel Bernoulli through experiment and background information.  In this Bernoulli lesson, 3rd graders participate in air pressure experiments. Students record their observations of the...

In this phase change worksheet, learners answer twenty questions about changes in energy to a system. They analyze phase diagrams, the determine the effects of changes in temperature on a system, they answer questions about miscibility,...

When a child lets go of a helium balloon, what happens to it? Does it float all the way to space? The simulator allows pupils to experiment on party balloons and weather balloons under different conditions to see what happens to them in...

Students construct models of the way water molecules arrange themselves in three physical states - solid, liquid, and gas. They explain the molecular behavior of ice, water, and water vapor.

Do solids, liquids, and gases even matter? The presentation focuses on changes in matter, including phases, Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and physical changes. 

High schoolers explore practical problems that are related to scuba diving.  In this oxygen lesson students complete a lab activity. 

A full-fledged practice final prepares pupils for their general chemistry final exam. If they complete these 57 multiple-choice questions correctly, they will be well-prepared. Note: even though the questions are multiple-choice, there...

Investigate the relationship between temperature and pressure. Learners change the pressure of a sample of air and monitor its temperature. They learn that as air decreases its pressure, its thermal energy converts to kinetic energy.

Students observe a teacher demonstration o classifying matter by its physical properties of shape and size. After discussing the definition of matter, students describe the state of matter. They sing a song to the tune of "Bingo." In...

Students investigate why some potato chips crumple faster than others. In this physics lessons, students relate the cooking time to potato's fragility. They write a lab report about their findings.

Although the title is States of Matter, this presentation is a collection of 4 slides just dealing with gas particle behavior, pressure and the Laws of Boyles and Charles and Gay-Lussac.

Oceanography enthusiasts are given a series of thought experiments to consider in order to relate the solubility of gases and solids to underwater volcanoes. It is not particularly engaging to perform these thought experiments. Choose...

Students research to answer questions related to deep sea diving. In this deep sea diving lesson, students answer questions on a worksheet using the Internet. They discuss pressure, gas laws, and the physiology of diving in the deep sea.

Students observe science demonstration. In this science lesson, students watch an experiment showing water moving up from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, due to a change in atmospheric pressure.

A 30-question multiple choice chemistry test challenges takers. Topics touched upon include thermochemistry, equilibrium, behavior of gases, and pH. Problem solving is required in order to answer most of the questions. Other questions...
