The ABC's of Gas Laws

This is Mr. Boyle

Marshmallow Lab >>> What a mixed-up class I gave this morning! I apologize for my brain-freeze, I actually worked really hard to put it together, but I tried to do too much at once.  However, here are some resources that will help you get a handle on how the Kinetic Particle Model explains the properties of gases
.

We are looking for the answer to these two questions:
  • What is Pressure?  
  • Explain how a gas is affected when pressure, temperature or volume is changed



 AND TAKE NOTES!


  • Read textbook chapter 16.3 Behavior of Gases (pages 502-507)  Answer the reading checks as you go (in your book is OK) and  in your SJ -   What is Pressure?  (you may skip the math boxes)

  • click bold type highlighted words to see animations-- there are 3
  • Explain how a gas is affected when pressure,     temperature     or volume is changed. (that's actually 3 questions--and drawing a diagram is helpful.) Did you click on the 3 animations?)


Marshmallow Lab ...  Here's the worksheet that's actually how we write up lab reports. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B07s3-bcUr7tcEJwT2xjNWU2bHc/edit?usp=sharing Question: What two variables are we testing when we place a baby marshmallow in a syringe, seal it with our finger and adjust the amount of space? Hint: it's not the marshmallow! Tell me what you think in the comments below.
We will go over this on Thursday, along with some math, so bring your calculators.


Photocopy one page-spread of your science journal - your best - to turn in on Thursday.
Remember to take notes in class and when watching videos at home, and on each page there should be a drawing or diagram or graph or word-picture that stands out.  You should not skip pages, you should have titles and dates for each section, you should use pen.  Crossing out is fine, but avoid major scribbling or tearing out.  Read this paragraph one more time.

THis is OPTIONAL>>>
