| Description | Students will investigate properties of gases including the relationships of temperature, pressure, and volume. Students will explore these relationships in the context of the Gas Laws, i.e. Boyle's Law and Charles' Law.
The culminating activity will be an activity where students will build a hot-air balloon that will be required to move a given mass a given distance. | |
