It's a Gas! Or is it?

Determining whether or not something is living can be more difficult than it seems. Put your young scientists to work defining their own criteria to identify life, then work with three samples to see if they are alive or not. 

The number of molecules, mass, or volume are to be calculated using different gas laws, including the ideal gas law and the law of partial pressures. This worksheet would be a useful review or practice for your chemistry class.

Students use plastic bottles, water, and condiment packets to simulate how natural gas comes from decaying ocean plants and animals. In this natural gas lesson plan, students also fill out lab packets and answer exit questions.

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...

Two simulations in one, this mini application gives beginning chemists experience with Boyle's law and Charles's law when they are learning about relationships between pressure and volume, and between temperature and volume. As one...

In one of the more memorable Spangler episodes, Spangler has a large terrarium filled with sulfur-hexafluoride gas, which is six times heavier than the air we breathe! It has some amazing properties, one of which it doesn't allow...

Sal continues his explanation of The Ideal Gas Equation in this chemistry video. He sets up a different problem from the previous video, and uses the ideal gas equation to calculate the molar mass of a 98 ml container that contains .081...

Did you know that natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel? The cost of processing natural gas is significantly less than processing even nuclear and wind energy. In this fast-moving, upbeat video, viewers learn about the benefits...

Using chalkboard animation, this video thoroughly explains the three empirical gas laws: Avogadro's, Boyle's, and Charles'. Use it as an introduction when teaching young chemists about the properties and behavior of gases.

Given a choice between playing a game or completing a worksheet, which do you think your class would choose? Tap into their reasoning skills with a series of puzzles focused on gas laws unit conversion. You can use the resource online or...
