This unit on gases covers the properties of gases and includes a science experiment for special education students studying the states of matter in chemistry.
This unit addresses:
- Temperature, Pressure, and Volume
- Ideal Gas Law
- Boyle’s Law
- Charles’ Law
- Ideal and real gases
NOTE: Students will not be working with formulas. They will identify which properties change in various real-life scenarios when various laws are applied.
Students have many opportunities to engage with repeated information on what happens to a gas once the temperature, pressure, or volume changes.
There is an experiment demonstrating how the volume changes when a balloon is heated and cooled.
In addition, many of the activities and assessments include multiple versions, differentiation suggestions, and presentation options.
*****This unit has digital versions of the printable activities. There are 32 Google Slides and a movie version of the book.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities experience material over several days to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students focus more on the content you present rather than on the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions, it will push them to think more deeply than before.
