A page from the University of Maryland Physics Lecture Demonstration Facility. Provides directions for a teacher demonstration of the ideal gas law. Shows apparatus and set-up; provides suggestions. Easily adaptable as a student project...

Investigate Avogadro's Law with videos, practice, and interactive activities in this tutorial.

When an overturned beaker is placed on top of a birthday candle in shallow pan of water, the candle will first go out and then water will appear to creep up the sides of the beaker like magic. Student will hypothesize and investigate why...

Students observe Pascal's law, Archimedes' principle, and the ideal gas law as a Cartesian diver moves within a closed system.

During this experiment, students will react magnesium with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas which is collected inside a flask that has a Vernier Gas Pressure Sensor connected to it in order to determine the molar volume of a...

Students explore ideal gases. Some topics examined in the activities are ideal gas, kinetic theory, and fluids. The resource consists of video clips, lecture notes, practice problems, and exam questions. Practice problems and exam...

A lab activity where learners investigate the relationship between temperature and volume using a plastic syringe with a stopper. The syringe, filled with trapped air, is placed in a hot and a cold water bath, and temperature and volume...

This simulation allows students to interact with different components of a complex real world phenomenon. The simulation shown is of a 4-stroke internal combustion engine. The thermodynamic cycle being simulated is the Otto cycle, which...

Includes exhaustive information and a wealth of activities pertaining to aerodynamics and the physics of flight.
