Material Detail

This set of activities enables students to investigate what causes pressure, how it is measured, and how it is affected by its own properties and the properties of its container. Students are encouraged to understand how the principles and effects of pressure are generated from specific interactions between many particles. The activities include: - Modeling a Tire - This activity enables students to investigate what happens inside a bike tire. - Changing Pressure - This activity enables students to investigate what pressure is and how it is measured in the computer model. - Experimenting with Particles - This activity enables students to design their own experiments related to the study of gas particle behavior in a container. - Number and Pressure - This activity enables students to investigate the quantitative relationship between particle number and pressure. - Temperature and Pressure - This activity enables students to investigate the quantitative relationship between temperature and pressure. - Volume and Pressure - This activity enables students to investigate the quantitative relationship between volume and pressure. - The Ideal Gas Law - This activity poses some...
