Serc: Cartesian Diver Race

Curated by ACT

In this lab, students will have to build a Cartesian diver to bring to class to race. I do this as an introduction to the gas laws, specifically Boyle's Law which deals with volume and pressure of gas at the same temperature. The students bring in their cartesian diver and we have a bracketed tournament to see whose cartesian diver can beat the competitor to the bottom of a 5 gallon Culligan jug.
