Kinetic Molecular Theory and Gas Laws

NCSCOS: 2.05 Analyze the basic assumptions of kinetic molecular theory and its applications:
 * Ideal Gas Equation.
 * Combined Gas Law.
 * Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures.

Warm Up Question: How is an ideal gas different from a real gas?

Lesson:

For review and teaching, 30 minute videos from Georgia can be viewed at the following links: [|Chemistry 901: Kinetic Theory, Atmospheric Pressure, and Gas Pressure] [|Chemistry 902: Boyle's Law and Charles' Law] [|Chemistry 903: More About the Behavior of Gases]

Go to phet and use "Gas Properties" virtual lab simulation. [] The above is good for exploring concepts and introducing students to the matieral. Students complete accompanying lab data-sheet.

For further enrichment and deeper involvement, go to SASinSchools and use the gas law lab there. [] Students complete accompanying lab data-sheet.

Students complete assessments along with activities.
