6.3.3.1 Particle motion in gases

Content	Key opportunities for skills development
$The molecules of a gas are in constant random motion. The temperature of the gas is related to the average kinetic energy of the molecules. Changing the temperature of a gas, held at constant volume, changes the pressure exerted by the gas.$	$WS 1.2$
$Students should be able to: explain how the motion of the molecules in a gas is related to both its temperature and its pressure explain qualitatively the relation between the temperature of a gas and its pressure at constant volume.$	$WS 1.2$
