One scene in particular would be useful in a high school chemistry class. In this scene, Commander Riker and Data are in the shuttle bay of the Enterprise. They are conducting an investigation into the disappearance of several crew members. The hypothesis with which they are working is that the shuttle bay doors were inadvertently opened. So, they were sucked out into space.
Data replies, That s blown out, sir.
To sufficiently explain this short scene, students would need to understand the concepts of vacuum, pressure, and force. This one vignette could fuel learning of an entire unit on the gas laws. Then, we would have to examine what pushed or pulled the crew members. Data s comments seem to favor a push. This would, I believe, lead to discussions on pressure and vacuums.
