SAS Classroom Activity

For this week's assignment I chose interactive #8. It's a gas law interactive. The reason that I chose it is because it makes the invisible, visible. Inexpensive equipment exists to make these measurements in the high school, or college, laboratory. However, I feel that at this age it will still feel like hocus-pocus. Letting them "play" with this interactive and see the changes that the gases go through when the variables are manipulated. Perhaps it would be best to use both this virtual lab and the Vernier equipment. Using data from both might really cement it for the students.
