This document provides instructions for an interactive simulation on gas properties. It outlines 3 experiments to investigate: 1) How temperature affects pressure - When temperature increases, pressure increases. 2) How volume affects pressure - When volume increases, pressure decreases. 3) How mass (number of particles) affects pressure - When mass increases, pressure increases. The document instructs students to collect data on temperature, volume, mass, pressure, and number of wall collisions in each experiment. It prompts graphing the data and explaining the relationships between the variables.

Temperature vs Pressure graph Explain your reasoning for the graph’s appearance

Volume vs Pressure graph Explain your reasoning for the graph’s appearance

# Particles vs Pressure graph Explain your reasoning for the graph’s appearance

Thinking Questions:

1. Explain how the pressure in the box and number of wall collisions are related.

2. An inverse relationship means as one variable increases, the other variable decreases. Which two variables are
inversely related?
