Curated OER
Demonstration of Ideal Gas Law
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...
Curated OER
Outta Gas
Students explore practical problems that are related to scuba diving. For this oxygen lesson students complete a lab activity.
Curated OER
Lesson 5: 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...
Curated OER
Behavior and Properties of Gases
Students convert Celsius to Kelvin temperature. Students conduct three lab experiments, gas law simulations using Internet applets, lectures and demonstrations. The Laws included are Boyle's, Charles, Combined Gas, Ideal Gas, and Gram's...
Curated OER
Avogadro's Law
Pupils study Avogadro's law and what it means in science. In this gaseous lesson students complete an Avogadro's law experiment.
Curated OER
Studying Plant Development Through Metabolic Activity
A hands-on activity which allows students to learn about cellular respiration. This instructional activity contains a range of investigations testing the rates of cellular respiration to demonstrate the relationship between metabolic...
Curated OER

Serc: Mn Step: Temperature Volume Relationship of a Gas
A lab activity where students 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...
