A classroom exercise for upper-level undergraduate physical chemistry instruction is presented that aims at the development of an intuitive understanding of P–V–T phase behavior of fluids. The classroom activity involves a group exercise over several classroom periods where students are required to construct 2D phase representations from a provided P–V–T block model. The broader implications of the classroom exercise are discussed.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
