Physics gas pressure -10 must do demonstrations- practical T&L ideas and support.

(0)
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.
