Students determine the validity of Charles' Law. In this Charles' Law lesson plan, students measure the volumes of a gas at two different temperatures. They determine the volume at a high temperature and predict using Charles' Law what...

Even middle schoolers still enjoy experimenting with bubbles! They execute a series of experiments enabling them to distinguish between convex and concave surfaces, explore the properties of buoyancy, surface tension, and density,...

Students experiment on Boyle's law using balloons and other common materials. In this chemistry lesson, students explain the relationship between pressure and volume. They solve problems relating to Boyle's Law.

Students participate in a lab to verify Boyle's Law using applied force (weight) to do work on a closed isolated system of air. "Elasticity of Gases Apparatus, BASIX" from Sargent-Welch is the syringe apparatus used to measure volume...

Learners create a piston/cylinder assembly using SolidWorks. In this technology lesson, students calculate volume, pressure and Boyle's law constant. They simulate equalizing air pressure by moving the piston out of the cylinder.

Searching for a relatively interesting way to demonstrate Charles' Law? Here is a lesson plan in which pupils heat air inside a flask and then cool the flask to quickly cool the air. They make observations about what occurs during...

Students explain various scientific laws used in SCUBA diving. For this theory based lesson, students examine and explain how temperature, density, and salinity relate to SCUBA diving using various scientific laws to engage their learning.

Students explore Boyle's Law. In this Boyle's Law lesson, students complete problems involving Boyle's Law. They examine the effects of Boyle's Law upon the human body. Students use the Internet to complete a lab activity.

Students investigate the gas laws and how they apply to changes in gases. In this gas laws lesson, students use Boyle's Law and Charles' law to show the relationships between pressure and volume and volume and temperature of gases.

Students investigate pressure and volume as they relate to gases. In this pressure and volume lesson plan, students observe multiple demonstrations related to air pressure. The develop an understanding of the relationship between...

Learners experience pressure as a force per unit area in this experiment with a board of nails. In this physics lesson, students discover Boyle's law as they perform experiments with pressure.

Students work in small groups and use a hand-held vacuum pump with a balloon under the dome with some air. Another deflated balloon is attached to the end where the air goes out. As the air is drawn out of the dome the first balloon with...

Introduce pupils to the work of Robert Boyle and his influence on medical practice through a series of informational texts and discussion questions.

For this chemistry worksheet, students memorize a pneumonic phrase in order to remember the Gas Law and then apply this to other content as well.

At some point, everyone has been under pressure—even Dalton! Explore Dalton's law of partial pressures with young chemists as they measure the volume of air extracted from a sample compared to its original volume. Class...

The Environmental Protection Agency monitors sensors to track air pollution and set clean air standards. Enthusiastic young scientists use similar sensors to gather data in their area and then apply the gas laws and conservation of...

Young scholars reflect on the overnight success of Susan Boyle, a contestant on "Britain's Got Talent."  In this lesson, students read a short history of the rise of the star, then complete numerous activities that reinforce their...

Introduce gas laws using the popular topic of SCUBA diving. This activity makes a connection between the gas laws and the effect of pressure and temperature changes during diving. Young engineers complete introductory experiments to...

Students conduct a series of experiments to explore Graham's law. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate effusion and diffusion. They perform calculations using Boyle's, Henry's, Charles' and Graham's Laws.

Learners perform a series of experiments on gas laws. In this chemistry lesson, students analyze the relationship between temperature, volume and pressure. They create a poster summarizing all the gas laws.

Students research to answer questions related to deep sea diving. In this deep sea diving lesson, students answer questions on a worksheet using the Internet. They discuss pressure, gas laws, and the physiology of diving in the deep sea.

Fifth graders create a Cartesian Diver model made from plastic soap bottle and medicine dropper.  In this incompressible liquid lesson, 5th graders experiment with jugs of water to demonstrate Pascal's Law, Boyle's Law and...
