In this gas laws activity, students learn about the Universal Gas Equation. Students then use the equation to solve 6 word problems.
Curated OER
Boyle's Law
In this chemistry activity, students identify and explain what Boyle's Law is and what it changes. Then they describe Charles' Law and how the temperature of gas changes so does the volume.
Curated OER
Boyle's Law
Students work in small groups and use a hand-held vacuum pump with a balloon under the dome with some air. Another deflated balloon is attached to the end where the air goes out. As the air is drawn out of the dome the first balloon with...
