Editing old revision 4. Saving this page will replace the latest revision with this text.

Since the paper was a few pages, I have kept the document as a Word document. So if you click here, , you will get a copy. The actual activities are highlighted below. 
---------------------- 
 
For the chapter on Gases, I have the students work in groups. There are 3 Gas law and Avogadro's Hypothesis. For each of the four concepts, there are a set of demonstrations, reading in the book and an animated website to help them figure out the relationship (including mathematical equations) between the two gas parameters (T, V, P, n). The four webpages are: 
*[[Boyle's Law Notes]]
*[[Guy-Lussaic' (No Name) Law Notes]]
*[[Charles' Law Notes]]
*[[Avogadro's Hypothesis Notes]]
 
For organizational purposes, I also have two handouts where the students write all their results (relationship between parameters, math equation). GasLaws is for students that like English more since it more a document and [http://www.tmcleod.org/Level1/0708gaslawworkseet.doc Gas Laws Worksheet] is for more math students since it is in Table format. 
 
Following coming up with the math equation, there are problems to complete. So, I have given them some directions, [[Steps to Calculate Gas Problems]] on how to solve these gas problems if they have not already come up with their own procedure. 
Here are the math problem webpage (they do them in their groups together) 
*BoylesLawProblemSet
*[[Guy-Lussaic' (No Name) Law Problem Set]]
*CharlesLawProblemSet
*AvogadrosHypothesisProblemSet
 
The review is a game of team questions/problem. Most correct answer get candy (school allows it). They play the game several times by this time of school year (no directions written down).
