Homework: finish worksheet
Wednesday, February 15, 2017
GLE/Standard:
Objective: SWBAT calculate temperature, pressure, or volume using either Boyle’s, Charles’s,
Gay-Lussac’s, or Combined Gas Law in mixed practice problems at 85% accuracy.
Materials: Elmo, calculator
Lesson plan:
• Do now: none
• Students will review the work from the previous day (students who will be with the substitute while the teacher is at the study group will be able to
check their answers to the answers displayed on the board. If they get the wrong answer, the students should mark them. Tomorrow, the teacher
will review the reasoning for the correct answers on those problems.
• Students will practice determining which formula to use in various problems by writing the variables and calculating the for the unknown variable.
All problems should be answered using the G.U.I.D.E. strategy (G -given variable; U -unknown variable; I -identify formula; D -do the math; E evaluate answer)

Thursday, February 16, 2017
GLE/Standard:
Objective: SWBAT calculate pressure, volume, number of moles, or temperature using the
Ideal Gas Law at 85% accuracy.
Materials: Elmo, calculator, periodic table
Lesson plan:
• Do now: Students will calculate two problems using either Boyle’s, Charles’s, Gay-Lussac’s, or Combined,. Students will have to determine which
formula to use by writing their variables down first.
• Students will review the material from the previous day.
• Students will recap how 1 mole of a substance can equal three things (molar mass, Avagadro’s number, and 22.4 L at STP). This will lead into a
discussion that temperature and pressure are not always equal to STP so it’s not always 22.4 L.
• Students will practice calculating either pressure, volume, number of moles, or temperature using the Ideal Gas Law
