Students will have:
- worked on an open-ended collaborative design project based on multiple sources of information
- gained insight into the peer review process
- gained a knowledge of gas properties and applied that knowledge to an authentic problem
Additional gas law simulations are available at the following sites:
The design challenge can be extended to exploring the atmospheres of Venus, Mars, or other planets and moons. NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies
is an excellent starting point.
