This lab is not inquiry-based because the teacher must explain how to calculate pressure before doing the activity, but the lab gives students a great concept of what PSI means. They usually have no idea if 10 PSI is a…

In everyday life we often talk about pressure—high pressure and low pressure. We speak of the pressure in car tires, atmospheric pressure, pressure-sealed containers, pressure chambers, and so on. These are just a few…

Pressure, Temperature, and Volume of Gases
Book Chapter |
The purpose of this lab is to introduce students to the gas laws related to pressure, temperature, and volume of gases. It gives students an opportunity to develop a mathematical model that can be used to describe “How…
