Gas Laws

Boyle's law states that temperature is constant and pressure and temperature are inversely related. The most clear demonstration of this law would be the straw lab. As you decrease the volume, the pressure goes up, so when you flick the straw it pops.

Charles's Law that pressure stays constant and temperature and volume are directly related. The best example would be the can that imploded, by changing the temperature from hot to cold the volume decreased, while the pressure remained the same.

Gay-Lusac's Law states that volume is constant and temperature and pressure are directly related. The bike bump would reflect this law because as you increase or decrease the pressure, the temperature changes accordingly. This was most evident when letting the pressure out by unscrewing the cap, it got very cold inside the bottle and you could see it.

  2. This post has a good layout and is easy to read. You might want to re-word Charles's Law.

  4. the explanations of the laws were good just go into more detail about what each experiment was.
