Experiment with gas trapped in an air chamber. Change the size of the chamber, the temperature, or add or remove gas. Notice how the gas pressure changes. For example, increase the pressure by heating the gas. Make and test predictions about gas behavior. This learning object is one in a series of four objects.
Objective
1. Students predict the effect of changes in volume and temperature on the pressure of a gas.
2. Students predict the effects of changes in particle numbers on the pressure of a gas.
3. Students interpret changes in gas pressure in terms of frequency of particle collisions.
