Instructional Ideas
- No time to set up a gas laws stations lab? Demonstrate the same principle without all the fuss
- Invite pupils to describe the temperature-volume relationship in their own words based upon their observations
Classroom Considerations
- Point out the dimensions of the container so the class has a clear understanding of the volume aspect of the interactive
Pros
- The piston's position fluctuates with increasing or decreasing collisions with molecules
- Instructions and guiding question make the resource easy for students to use on their own
Cons
- None
