You know that liquid nitrogen turns into a gas at room temperature. Place some in a two-liter bottle for a physics demonstration of the ideal gas law. Beware, however; this is a dangerous demonstration! Not to mention that you may not...

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...

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...

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...

Where does the pop in pop rocks come from? An engaging activity asks scholars to measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a package of Pop Rocks candy. Learners dissolve the candy in water and use the solubility of CO2 to determine its mass.

High schoolers explore practical problems that are related to scuba diving.  In this oxygen activity students complete a lab activity. 

A hands-on activity which allows learners to learn about cellular respiration. This lesson contains a range of investigations testing the rates of cellular respiration to demonstrate the relationship between metabolic rates of...

Young scholars study Avogadro's law and what it means in science.  For this gaseous lesson students complete an Avogadro's law experiment.   

Pupils conduct a series of activity that demonstrates Charles' and Boyle's Law. In this chemistry lesson, students determine the relationship among pressure, volume and temperature. They solve problems using mathematical equation.

High schoolers determine the activation energy of a chemical reaction.

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...

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...

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...
