Investigation: Gas Laws in Action - Propane

For Teachers 6th - 9th Standards
Using helium as an example of propane, physical science middle schoolers experiment with and graph the relationship between temperature and volume in gases. In a whole-class demonstration, they show how molecules behave under different...

Science Buddies: Boyle's Law

For Students 9th - 10th
This is a modern version of a classic experiment by Robert Boyle on the compressibility of gases. Boyle discovered the relationship between pressure and volume of gases that now bears his name. This project shows you a simple method for...

Texas Instruments: Vernier Boyle's Law

For Teachers 9th - 10th
The primary objective of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the pressure and volume of a confined gas. The gas we use will be air, and it will be confined in a syringe connected to a Pressure Sensor (see Figure 1)....

The Science House: Floating Candles

For Teachers 9th - 10th
In this experiment students observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur. They also see the relationship between pressure, volume, and number of molecules for gases.
