Activities
- Use this "Animated Gas Lab" to answer the questions on this worksheet about Boyle's Law.
- And use the same "Animated Gas Lab" to complete the Charles's Law worksheet.
- Have students do these
Boyle's Law problems
 .
- Do these Charles's Law
problems .
- Try these Combined Gas Law problems .
- These are Ideal Gas Law problems and these are both Combined Gas Laws and Ideal Gas Law
Problems.
- This worksheet
 is a review of all the gas laws.
- Have students try this
"Gas Laws Magic Square" .
- Do this Gas Laws
crossword puzzle or try this "Gases" crossword with answers.
- Or try this Gas Law
wordsearch puzzle with
answers .
- A question on a
University of Washington midterm was, "Is Hell Exothermic?" This
student's response uses the gas
laws to answer the question. Just thought I would throw that in
for fun!
- Here's a good
PowerPoint presentation on "The Gas Laws"
 (NOTE: The htm version doesn't seem to work in
the Mozilla Firefox browser.).
- Show this Flash
animation with audio of "The Gas Laws."
- Abigail Freiberger of the Greater
Atlanta Christian School provided this "Physical Characteristics
of Gases" activity that uses animations on the web to investigate
the physical properties of gases.
- Paul Bizot provided this
"NASA Animated Gas Lab" worksheet
to go with NASA's Animated Gas Lab. It is targeted toward AP
Chemistry students.
- "The Chemistry Blimp" is a WebQuest that explores the chemistry behind the Hindenburg disaster.
- Use NASA's animated "Gas Lab" to do this simpler "NASA Animated Gas
Lab" worksheet.
- Demonstrate the gas laws
with these student created "Gas Laws With Flash Animations."
- Use this "Experiments
with Gases" web simulation with this "Gas Laws" worksheet and an Excel
spreadsheet to demonstrate Boyle's Law, Charles Law, and Avagadro's
Principle. Or have student's use the simulation with this "Gas
Laws Worksheet."
Labs
- These are "Simple,
Inexpensive Classroom Experiments for Understanding Basic Gas Laws and
Properties of Gases" .
- Check out the article, "Inquiry and the Collapsing Can" in NSTA's The
Science Teacher, April/May 2006, p. 62-63 (members can access the
link). And check out the "Collapsing Can" video.
- Use this Cartesian
Diver demo to illustrate Boyles's Law.
- Try these "Chemistry Is a
Gas" demos to illustrate Boyle's and Charles's
Laws.
- Do this Boyle's Law Microscale experiment or this Charles's Law Microscale experiment.
- "Gas Laws" is a virtual lab that uses this "Boyle's Law" animation, this graph pad, and this "Charles's Law" animation.
- Set up 11
lab stations with this "Gas
Laws Smorgasbord" from Arbor Scientific.
- Try Abigail Freiberger's "Boyle's Law" Lab.
- Or do her "Charles' Law" Lab.
- Have students do Discovery School's
"Temperature and Pressure" lab, designed for grades 6-8,
that uses carbonated sodas. It includes a "Temperature and
Pressure Data Sheet" .
- Try Joyce Hooley-Bartlett's "Exploration of Gasses"
demos.
- In Beverly Frommel's "Marshmallow Madness"
, student's use plastic syringes and
marshmallows to test one of the basic gas laws.
- Try Rosemarie Smith's "Alka Seltzer and the Ideal
Gas Law" lab.
