Its a Gas Lab Activity: Kinetic Molecular Theory and Gas Laws
This lab activity is designed to encourage students to apply the Kinetic Molecular Theory and the gas laws to eight examples that they observe.
Students will work in groups to analyze and evaluate behaviors of gases in eight stations. Students will then sketch what they see, write an explanation of what’s happening, (in terms of the Kinetic Molecular Theory), and justify which gas law best fits the example.
