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...

Sometimes a little pressure isn't a bad thing! A collaborative lesson uses models to demonstrate how air pressure inflates and deflates the lungs. Participants use everyday materials to create models of the chest cavity to simulate how a...

Humans tend to huddle together when cold and move around more when warm, but do gas particles follow the same pattern? Scholars use a temperature probe, a pressure sensor, and air to study the relationship between temperature and gas...

Do your high school scientists know the four methods scientists use to communicate information? A simple experiment discovering the relationship between gas pressure and volume allows pupils to practice all four. After completing the...

Are you feeling the pressure? Let loose a little with a kinesthetic activity that models molecular motion in a closed space! The activity varies conditions such as volume and temperature and examines the effects on molecules.

If an aerosol can lands in a fire, it explodes due to Gay-Lussac's Law. A video from a chemistry playlist explains Gay-Lussac's Law and the relationship between pressure and temperature of gases. It includes two guided practice problems...

Pressure and volume remain inversely proportional for all gases. Socratica presents a video about this relationship as part of their chemistry playlist. It explains Boyle's Law and the associated formulas before demonstrating the...

Plunge into a gas pressure activity! Junior physical scientists manipulate a syringe to study the particle model of gases. The interactive invites investigations of particle movements in capped versus uncapped syringes.

Balloons bring great fun to the classroom, until they break. What's a teacher to do then? Break out the balloon of the computer age with a fun interactive! Science scholars add and remove atoms from their virtual balloons and observe...

Pressure and volume are in a relationship, but what is the nature of it? High school scientists discover the link between the volume of a gas and the pressure it exerts using a simulation. The resource tracks pressure in a sidebar as...

What makes gases so unique? Physical science sleuths uncover the facts about gases in a short video. The narrator compares gases to solids and liquids in terms of space between particles, compressibility, and reaction to temperature...

Is it me, or is it getting hot in here? Middle school science sleuths investigate the relationship between temperature and pressure, then use their observations to form a hypothesis. Questions embedded in the interactive help guide...

Learners examine the factors that affect reaction rates in the sixth lesson in a 35-part video series. The video instructor explains the different factors that change reaction rates, and the connection between volume, pressure, and...

When a child lets go of a helium balloon, what happens to it? Does it float all the way to space? The simulator allows pupils to experiment on party balloons and weather balloons under different conditions to see what happens to them in...

Learners examine Boyle's Law by analyzing experimental results with a hands-on lesson that provides a set of four experiments that illustrate the relationship between pressure and volume of gases. Groups analyze results using...

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. 

Temperature, pressure, and volume, oh my! Learn how one quality of gas affects the others with a video that includes worked out problems that use the Gas Laws with solutions.

How much pressure is exerted by the mixture of gases in a scuba tank? Introduce pupils to Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure and vapor pressure in the video sure to interest the class. The video also reminds viewers that gases are not...

Can you crush a soda can using only the air around you? Use an engaging video to teach about the relationship between pressure, volume, moles, and temperature of a given gas, all done with the Ideal Gas Law.  

Up, up, and away! Teach your class the science behind hot air balloons when by showing them the short video segment describing the physics of how they remain in the air and travel distances through different atmospheric conditions. They...
