Objectives:
After reading
the Web page Gas Properties Definitions,
complete the activity to demonstrate an understanding of the properties
of gases.
The Beginner's Guide
to Rockets is a Web site of information prepared at NASA Glenn Research
Center to help you better understand rocket propulsion. Click
Beginner's Guide Index to access
the list of slides. Open the slide called Gas
Properties Definitions (with text) and read the explanation. Access
additional Web pages as needed to complete the activity.
Assessment:
You, or you
and your partner(s), will be evaluated on the feasibility of your answers.
Evaluation:
You will
demonstrate the ability to use information found on the World Wide Web
and apply what you have learned about the properties of gases to
answer
