Contribution Description
Title	Gases Understanding physical properties of gases (Inquiry Based)
Simulations	Sifati Gas, Gesekan, Wujud Zat
Keywords	Gases, Liquids, Solids, pressure, molecule, phet activity, chemistry
Description	The students will use the simulation to learn the goals through an inquiry approach. This is a revised version of 3 activities I used to use. My students used States of Matter in Physics and also my Balloons and Bouyancy activity. There are clicker questions. Learning Goals:Students will be able to:Describe a molecular model of gas pressure.Describe what happens to the measurable quantities if changes to the gas system are made. Changes can be adding/removing molecules or heat, increasing/decreasing volume or pressure & Make sense of the measurable quantities of gases by analyzing examples of macroscopic (visible) things that are similar. Explain using physics what is happening on a molecular level when changes are made to a gas system.
