Gas Laws: Boyle's, Charles's, & the Ideal Gas Law Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: Catastrophic Implosion of an Industrial Steel Drum by Air Pressure Presentation | Chemistry | Grades 9–12

This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson in the high school Chemistry (grades 9–12) chapter Gas Laws: Boyle's, Charles's, & the Ideal Gas Law, built around the phenomenon Catastrophic Implosion of an Industrial Steel Drum by Air Pressure. This scaffolded version adds sentence frames and extra supports for students who need them. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.

Complete the set: Gas Laws: Boyle's, Charles's, & the Ideal Gas Law Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: Catastrophic Implosion of an Industrial Steel Drum by Air Pressure Teacher Discussion Guide; Gas Laws: Boyle's, Charles's, & the Ideal Gas Law Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: Catastrophic Implosion of an Industrial Steel Drum by Air Pressure Student Response Sheet. Original version: Gas Laws: Boyle's, Charles's, & the Ideal Gas Law Phenomena-Based Lesson: Catastrophic Implosion of an Industrial Steel Drum by Air Pressure Presentation.

What's inside: SCAFFOLDED Student Slide Show (editable .pptx + PDF, 16 slides).

Standards: HS-PS1-3 — Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles. HS-PS3-2 — Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the motions of particles (objects) and energy associated with the relative position of particles (objects).

Resource type: Phenomena-Based Lesson – Presentation. Format: editable Microsoft PowerPoint file plus a ready-to-print PDF.

Classroom use: Open with the phenomenon slide show, let students record ideas on the response sheet, and lead the discussion with the teacher guide. Built for high school Chemistry, grades 9–12.
