Overview

This lesson asks the students to connect all their previous gas particle investigations. In contrast to previous lessons, they do not conduct any model-based explorations. Instead, they work on connecting the three gas equations they developed in the previous lesson and they try to apply those models to a real-world gas-related problem. They are then introduced to the Ideal Gas law, PV = nRT, which is a combination of the three models.
