You can also edit/add sections to suit your own teaching needs.

A quiz that you will be able to complete within a 1h lesson or as a lunch time , with answers and answer sheet. Round 1 - Guess the scientist in the sceince film Round 2 - name the science song Round 3 - who was the scientists and what was the discovery? Round 4 - where were theses scientists born? Round 5 - name the discoveries and order them! Edited - July 2017 and updated None of the rounds require use of youtube or external sites, as I am aware these are often blocked in some schools.

The resource contains 10 teacher led demonstrations some of which students can also do, all focussing on the gas pressure laws (Gay-Lussacs, Boyles and Charles) and their relationships. The powerpoint also includes data students could plot to further understand the relationships. I have also included the foldable that students can use to further discover the relationships between temperature, volume and pressure. This can be used in conjunction with the powerpoint lesson ideas. I hope you find it useful especially if you a non specialist or you find yourself teaching this new area of the Physics curriculum.
