In this Chemthink tutorial, you will explore the gas laws and take a short quiz. Topics include:
The following worksheet was created by Jennifer Pettyjohn to go along with the tutorial. Thanks Jen!
The following fill-in-the-blank notes were provided by Rebecca Carlock at Centennial High School.
Thank you Rebecca!

well i think this is a great program for young students, it helps students such as myself to get a greater understanding on gas laws. Thank you very much, we appreciate it. 🙂

Love these tutorials! Have used them for years. I do have question sets that go with most of them if you would like copies.

Love these tutorials and question sets, but I really miss the ability for kids to sign in and get a grade for completing the question sets. Will that ever return? Also, will the rest of the tutorials and questions sets ever be available? I missed them so much this year!

Kelly,
I’m mocking up the introductory login screens right now. I will hopefully be able to have teacher and student tracking in the next few weeks for the “Atomic Structure” and “Particulate Nature of Matter” tutorials.

Thank you so much for responding! These are great for helping kids make sense of the submicroscopic scale concepts! I’ve used them a ton over the last several years and was so disappointed when they disappeared this year!

Tom,
This is one of the older Flash-based tutorials. In order to get it runnning on a modern browser, you might need go into the settings to allow flash content. As time goes on, Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox are all making it harder and harder to play Flash content.
This tutorial is on my list of things to update to HTML5.

Please update to html soon! I love this sim, but our computers are getting too new!

Working on it! 🙂
I’m about halfway done with the tutorial right now. It is significantly more complicated than the ones I have done previously.

On every chemistry simulation I click on, it takes me to a log-in screen. I created an account and logged on and still can’t get to the simulations. All it takes me to is a class set up page. I set up a class and still can’t get to the simulations. I just want to try this site out. What am I doing wrong?

I’m so sorry for the confusion!
Once you log in as a teacher, there is no direct link to the tutorials. The teacher account menus are strictly for managing your classes.
To try the simulations and tutorials, use the guest login feature. This will allow you to run through the tutorial and question set, exactly as if you were a student.
I actually recommend against creating a teacher account entirely unless you really need to. For my own students, I just have the students login using the guest login feature, then take a selfie on their phone with the completion screen.

Many of the slides in the tutorial say that the “simulation is off”. Is there an easy fix for this? thanks,

I believe this was done intentionally in Mr. Sprandal’s original version, and I have kept this the same in the HTML5 version.
Students need to go back to the simulation to play with it, then remember how the atoms behaved to answer the questions.
For example: In Slide #3/36 it asks if the speed of the atoms depend on temperature. The simulation is off for this question. If they can’t remember, they need to go back to Slide #2/36, add a few atoms, then adjust the temperature to see how the atoms respond.

Whoever put time and effort in these interactive lessons did a great job and their work is much appreciated! Super nice way to learn and I hope whoever made these sees this comment 🙂
