| Title | Graphing Activity using Gas Properties Simulation |
| Description | The students vary temperature or volume on this simulation and use the measurement tools to record 4 data points for each gas law. For each section, the unused variable needs to be set as constant (for the section on volume and temperature, set pressure as the constant variable). Then they graph their data and give real-world examples. |

How do you find the measurement for volume in this simulation?

The container is not really 3D, so you just can find relationships of volume to things by changing the width. You will not be able to find exact values like the gas constant.

If you turn on the ruler, then you can have a measurement that is related to volume. Unfortunately the ruler measures the width in reverse, but it gives you a number.
