If you have read "Getting Started" and "Basic Gas Techniques", you are ready to start making gases and performing experiments, classroom demonstrations and lab activities with your students.

If you wish to bring history into your discussion, all three gases are historically significant. Visit the "History of Gas Chemistry" to learn more.
