It's a Gas!

Physical science learners conduct a simple experiment using the heat of their hands to affect the fluid pressure. They place a balloon atop a freezing cold bottle and observe what occurs as it warms up. Both activities demonstrate how...

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...

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.

Explore structures within the realm of gas exchange in terrestrial and aquatic life.  The excellent, labelled diagrams and clear descriptions help your students view the different structures and adaptations that have developed. The 29...

A physical science presentation begins with an explanation of ideal gases and their behavior. Then it introduces all of the gas laws with descriptions and formulas. 

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...

The Hindenburg and its use of the highly flammable gas hydrogen, used to keep it afloat, eventually caught fire and killed 36 people.  Use the Ideal Gas Law through analysis of the Hindenburg and discover why scientists chose hydrogen...

Young chemists get a handle on the behavior of gases when viewing this presentation. It incorporates thorough explanations of the ideal gas law, molar mass, empirical formulas, and partial pressures. A highlight is the learning check...

Beginning with a general discussion about natural gas, methane, and hydrocarbons, a few videos and diagrams are projected to support the lecture. Individuals participate in a brief activity by drinking juice through a straw, and then...
