The IA standards addressed in these labs were the same for grades 10-12: Content Standard 1/Grade Level Indicator."students can understand and apply the processes and skills of scientific inquiry" and "analyze and interpret scientific information". Content Standard 3/Grade Level indicator. "Students can understand concepts and relationships in Earth/space sciences" and "make inferences and predictions fusing fundamental Earth/space concepts" and "analyze Earth/space investigations". Contnet Standard 4/Grade Level Indicator. "Students can understand concepts and relationships in physical sciences" and "make inferences and predictions using fundamental physical science concepts" and "analyze physical science investigations" and "analyze and evaluate the adequacy and accuracy of physical science information".
Content concepts addressed in the Egg Drop/Egg Removal: Water-change of state-molecular activity-; the Ideal Gas Law: linear relationship between temperature & pressure, inversely proportional relationship of pressure & volume; Henry's law( gas solubility in liquid) & the concentration of dissolved gas proportional to the partial pressure of that gas; acid - base reaction; gas production -evidence of chemical change; equlilbrium in chemical reaction.
Content concepts addressed in the Bell Jar Lab: pressure differences; Ideal Gas Law, where Pressure is proportional to Temperature and inversely proportional to Volume; Water boiling at lower (?in ours- ? room tmeperature?) as a result of lessening pressure; lessening of external pressure"lets" internal pressure "take charge" and marshmallow "expands" until external pressure returns to the system--when marshmallow "shrinks"-is crushed by that external pressure.
The wording was the same for Standard 2 (biology) as for Standards 3 and 4. One could add questions, discussion, discovery related to biology (ie, why do space traveler's need space suits?---research issues, of blood pressure, equilibrium between internal body pressure and external pressure, body temperature equilibrium...)
