-
Renewable Energy, Conservation of Mass, Chemical Change, Volume, Pressure | Middle School, High School
Lab: Power That Stinks
In this lab, students will experiment with creating and capturing biogas, and have an opportunity to look at how energy is created from waste. They will explore the differences between non-renewable and renewable energy sources.
-
Gas Laws, Volume, Temperature, Pressure | High School, Elementary School, Middle School
Demonstration: Egg-citing Gas Laws
In this demonstration, students will observe how changing the temperature of a gas will affect the pressure of the gas through an engaging demonstration using a heat source, water vapor and a hard-boiled egg.
-
Physical Change, Physical Properties, Review, Mixtures, Separating Mixtures, Distillation, Sublimation, Phase Changes, Boiling Point, Gas Laws, Temperature, Volume, Pressure | High School
Activity: Physical Properties
In this activity, students will play a game to review topics relating to physical properties of matter, including mixtures, states of matter, and gas laws. They will be prompted with questions in a PowerPoint and they will use white boards to communicate their answers.
-
Gas Laws, Volume, Temperature, Pressure | High School, Middle School
Demonstration: Crush the Can
In this demonstration, students will analyze how the change in temperature of a gas can affect the pressure and volume of the gas. Students will watch an engaging demonstration involving a heat source, water vapor and an empty soda can.
-
Chemical Change, Acid & Base Theories, Indicators, Solubility Rules, Gas Laws, Pressure | Middle School
Lesson Plan: Chemistry of Pop Rocks
In this lesson, students will determine the pH of several liquids with litmus paper or a pH probe. Next, students will explore how pH affects the production of gas with Pop Rocks. Students will also investigate how Charles’ Law affects Pop Rocks. Finally, students will design their own experiment with Pop Rocks.
-
Gas Laws, Pressure, Ideal Gas, Volume, Graphing, Physical Properties, Error Analysis | High School
Lab: Boyle's Law
In this lab, students stack books on top of a closed syringe and use the volume change to determine the mass of the books.
-
Gas Laws, Volume, Temperature, Pressure | High School, Middle School
Demonstration: Balloon and Flask
In this demo, students will witness the relationship between temperature and volume as well as temperature and pressure.
-
Conservation of Matter, Pressure | Elementary School
Lab: Alka-Seltzer Rockets
In this lab, students will conduct a chemical reaction that will be used to launch a rocket.
-
Gas Laws, Molar Mass, Density, Temperature, Pressure, Volume, Ideal Gas, Physical Change, Observations, Density, Identifying an Unknown, Error Analysis | High School
Lab: Molar Mass of Dry Ice
In this lab, students will use gas laws to calculate the molar mass of dry ice and then use the information to identify the compound that makes up this substance.
-
Gas Laws, Volume, Temperature, Pressure | High School
Activity: Modeling Gas Behavior
In this activity, students will use models to predict behaviors of gas. They will conceptually and quantitatively solve problems, but the emphasis is put on the conceptual changes through modeling exercises.
-
Stoichiometry, Gas Laws, Ideal Gas, Pressure, Volume, Temperature, Interdisciplinary | High School
Lesson Plan: Mechanisms and Properties of Airbags
In this lesson students will learn about the mechanisms and properties of airbags, and examine the choice of airbag inflator from several points of view.
-
Gas Laws, Pressure, Temperature, Volume | Elementary School, Middle School, High School
Demonstration: Make the Water Rise!
In this demonstration, students will observe the impact of temperature change on a gas through an engaging demonstration using simple household materials.
-
Molecular Motion, Density, Physical Properties, Density, Gas Laws, Ideal Gas, Temperature, Pressure, Volume | Middle School, High School
Simulation: Density
The simulation for the September 2015 issue allows students to investigate the effect of changing variables on both the volume and the density of a solid, a liquid, and a gas sample. Students will analyze the different states of matter at the particle level as well as quantitatively.
