GasLab uses computer animations to demonstrate the ideal gas law. It visually shows how pressure, temperature, mass, and volume interact and change.

  • Pros

    • Illustrates ideal gas law relationships
    • Uses computer animations for visualization
    • Fixes two properties to study others
    • Demonstrates variable relationships
    • Leverages scientific observation principles

  • Cons

    • Focuses solely on ideal gas law
    • Primarily animation-based learning
    • Limited to interactive demonstration

Developer’s Description

By NASA
Learn different combination of the ideal gas law or equation of state.
The GasLab is a series of computer animations which demonstrate all the possible combination of the ideal gas law or equation of state. Gases have various properties which we can observe with our senses, including the gas pressure, temperature, mass, and the volume which contains the gas. Careful, scientific observation has determined that these variables are related to one another and the values of these properties determine the state of the gas. In a scientific manner, we can fix any two of the four primary properties and study the nature of the relationship between the other two by varying one and observing the variation of the other. The variations are demonstrated using computer graphics in the animated gas lab.
