Standard 5: Behavior of Gases
Core Standard
Using the kinetic molecular theory, describe and explain the behavior of ideal
gases.
Core Standard
Examine the relationship between number of moles, volume, pressure, and
temperature for ideal gases, using the ideal gas equation of state PV = nRT.
Each student will CHOOSE ONE of the following options for this unit (each worth 150 points).
Students are required to get a parent signature for whatever project is chosen. Once the signature sheet is turned in, no further changes may be made.
Class time will be used to work on the project selected. However, students will receive lab participation points for each day they are present and actively engaged in the learning process. If a student is absent (for any reason), these lab participation points cannot be earned and cannot be made up.
Students choosing this option will work independently and learn the gas law concepts from the book. At the end of each section, students will be required to take a quiz which will count towards the total grade. Each quiz will be worth 10 points. At the end of the chapter, students choosing this option will take a 100 point test. Click here to select this project.

Gas Laws WebQuest:
Students choosing this option will work independently or in pairs but will use the internet to investigate applications of the gas laws for blimps, zepplins, and hot air balloons. There will be NO TEST at the end. Click here to select this project
3.
Scuba Project:
Students choosing this option will work in a small group
(2 or 3 people - may not work alone) and will design an actual homemade
device which will enable them to determine how much air it would take in order
for the student to stay underwater for 30 minutes. There
will be NO TEST at the end. Click here to
