Virtual Labs
Each of the Virtual Labs below addresses the AP Chemistry Learning Objectives related to the Gas Laws. Click here for a detailed listing.
PhET - Gas Laws Simulation
Pump gas molecules to a box and see what happens as you change the volume, add or remove heat, change gravity, and more. Measure the temperature and pressure, and discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to each other.
This is an inquiry lab that asks students to design experiments and derive relationships for Gas Laws. Learning Goals: •Design experiments to measure the relationships between pressure, volume, and temperature. •Create graphs based on predictions and observations. •Make qualitative statements about the relationships between pressure, volume and temperature using molecular models.
