Classroom Resources: Gases
26 – 36 of 36 Classroom Resources
-
Separating Mixtures, Physical Properties, Temperature, Sublimation, Gas Laws, Pressure, Phase Changes, Physical Change, Review, Distillation, Boiling Point, Volume, Mixtures | 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.
-
Temperature, Gas Laws, Pressure, Volume | Middle School, High 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.
-
Density, Molecular Motion, Kinetic Molecular Theory, Entropy, Intermolecular Forces, Volume | High School
Activity: Connecting States to Entropy
In this activity, students use blocks to model different states of matter and the Kinetic Molecular Theory to understand the concept of entropy. This is a concept mandated by SAT level or AP level high school chemistry class.
-
Physical Properties, Gas Laws, Pressure, Ideal Gas, Volume, Graphing, 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.
-
Temperature, Gas Laws, Pressure, Volume | Middle School, High School
Demonstration: Balloon and Flask
In this demo, students will witness the relationship between temperature and volume as well as temperature and pressure.
-
Gas Laws, Balancing Equations, Stoichiometry, Mole Concept, Chemical Change, Dimensional Analysis, Volume | High School
Project: Air Bag Stoichiometry
In this lab, students make real-world connections of stoichiometry with the design of car air bags.
-
Observations, Density, Temperature, Gas Laws, Density, Pressure, Physical Change, Identifying an Unknown, Molar Mass, Ideal Gas, Volume, 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.
-
Temperature, Gas Laws, Pressure, Volume | 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.
-
Temperature, Gas Laws, Pressure, Interdisciplinary, Stoichiometry, Ideal Gas, Volume | 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.
-
Temperature, Gas Laws, Pressure, 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.
-
Density, Physical Properties, Temperature, Gas Laws, Density, Pressure, Molecular Motion, Ideal Gas, 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.
