Gas Properties Virtual Lab
Fort Lee High School
Summer
Research Program for Science Teachers
August 2012
Subject:
Chemistry
Grade Level:
10
Unit:
Gas Laws and Kinetic Molecular Theory
Time required:
Objective(s):
SWBAT develop hypothesis and procedures to demonstrate their ability to conduct
an experiment. SWBAT predict the
relationship between gas and varying temperature, volume and pressure.
Lesson Procedure
Do Now: Read through the
lab handout & write the hypothesis based on the purpose of the lab.
In Class: At the lab, assign groups
Read procedure aloud
Revisit what should be expected during a computer lab setting
What are the objectives for the laboratory?
Closure: Discuss findings using the following prompts:
What caused the gas to change its pressure?
What caused the gas to change its volume?
How did the size of the molecule effect the overall situation?
How is this related to the Kinetic molecular theory?
Review of Application Question:
You check the pressure of a car tire on a very cold morning; when you filled it,
the temperature was normal room temperature. Now, it is 20 psi, the tire says it
should have 30 psi. Could it be just a change in temperature, or is it more
likely that it has a leak? Explain how you used the simulation to determine your
answer.
