FABRICATING EXPERIMENTAL EQUIPMENT FOR TESTING GAS LAWS FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING "IDEAL GAS" - GRADE 12 PHYSICS, NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM 2018

Abstract

In this study, we fabricated the experimental equipment for testing gas laws, using eco-friendly and easy-to-find materials. The equipment was able to test, with relatively high accuracy (error less than 1%), the gas laws and demonstrate the state equation of ideal gases. The findings reveal that the equipment and similar experiments can be adopted for teachers’ modeling activities as well as students’ experiments, or teachers can guide their students to fabricate their own equipment as a STEM experience while teaching the topic “Ideal Gas” – Grade 12 Physics, the national high school program 2018.
