Gases and the Kinetic Molecular Model: Science Unit 5, Grade 10 (Letters & Devotion)

Description

Gases and the Kinetic Molecular Model is Unit 5 of Chemistry in the Kitchen and Beyond: Matter, Energy, and Change (Part 2) (Grade 10), the Letters & Devotion Science course, complete in one printable PDF: 10 lessons, the unit check-up and the answer key, 81 pages.

• The four assumptions of kinetic molecular theory
• The collision-based mechanism of gas pressure and its relationship to particle kinetic energy
• The inverse P-V relationship and the direct V-T relationship in a fixed quantity of gas (Boyle’s and Charles’s Laws)
• Algebraic solution of Boyle’s, Charles’s, and combined gas law equations
• Selection of the applicable gas law based on which variables are held constant or changing in a novel scenario
• Molar volume at STP and its relationship to moles, mass, and identity of a gas
• The ideal gas law equation PV=nRT combined with mole-mass conversion
• Conditions and mechanisms of real gas deviation from ideal gas behavior
• An original gas law prediction tested against experimental data from a kitchen-safe investigation
• The distinction between mechanistic (particle-collision) and goal-directed/substance-transfer explanations of gas behavior

Every lesson is written for a parent with no teaching background: it opens with a short script to read aloud, names the specific wrong idea a student is likely to reach for and how to correct it, and closes with a practice sheet you may copy for your household. Scripture references are King James Version throughout. Black-and-white, 8.5 x 11 in. The whole year of this course is also in this store as a single book.
