A multiple representation exploration of the ideal gas law

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

Insights from a semester long project on submitting “A multiple representation exploration of the ideal gas law” onto Living Physics Portal and then on to Course Source for publication will be shared. This is a unit from a studio-style, modeling-based introductory physics course designed for life science students in a pre-health sequence at the University of New England. This content is designed for students to explore ideal gas law (PV = NkBT) through hands-on experiments and represent their findings using graphical, mathematical, diagrammatic and verbal models. The curriculum contains reading material, instructor notes, and worksheet problems to assess student learning with solutions.
