The pressure and temperature relationship is part of the states of matter unit in grade 6 Science. This activity offers an interactive way to explore the pressure and temperature relationship through a Phet simulation with an exploration guide.

What is the learning goal of this lesson?

Your learners will be able to explain the pressure and temperature relationship and apply their new knowledge to formulate hypotheses on how a pressure cooker works.

While not explicitly included in this resource, learners could also create a pressure and temperature chart based on the values they can measure using the Phet simulation.

Which previous knowledge should my learners already have?

Learners will already be able to explain the relationship between volume and temperature including the fact that volume and temperature are directly proportional.
