Schubert, Frederic E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The cannon boring experiment of Count Rumford, where eight kilograms of water were boiled by metal on metal friction, is investigated. Consideration of this dramatic demonstration can enrich classroom discussions of calorimetry, units of measure, elements, and thermodynamics. A section pertaining to use of the article in the classroom appears…

Hansen, John R. – 1971
The intent of this investigation was to design a resource unit to be used by junior high school science teachers to teach the concept of the kinetic theory of gases. The document was prepared to aid teachers with minimal preparation in physics. The research design consisted of three main subproblems: (1) the identification of the subtopics of the…

Dash, J. G . – 1965
This monograph was written for the Conference on the New Instructional Materials in Physics, held at the University of Washington in summer, 1965. It is designed for college students who are non-physics majors, and is organized in sections of increasing sophistication. Section 1 presents ideas related to the kinetic theory of gases. Section 2…

Moore, William M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1984
Describes the procedures and equipment for an experiment on the adiabatic expansion of gases suitable for demonstration and discussion in the physical chemical laboratory. The expansion produced shows how the process can change temperature and still return to a different location on an isotherm. (JN)
