Apple Stamps Objective Students will generate and demonstrate one of the properties of oxygen. Science 2.1 Record and summarize experimental data. We are going to build a gas generator and generate oxygen. Generate a discussion with your students about the properties of oxygen. One of those properties is that it allows flames to burn.
Pure oxygen generates larger, more intense flames.
After we generate pure oxygen, we will test it with burning splint. First, we are going to make a gas generator. Get a baby food jar and drill a hole in the lid slightly smaller than the rubber tubing. Insert one end of the rubber tubing just inside the hole. Place the pill bottle on it's side in the plastic cup.
