A real life example of Boyle's Law is when you are trying to open a bag of chips by popping the bag. So you get a bag of chips and it just won't tear open so you decide to pop it. first thing you do is squeeze the bag. When you do this you are reducing the volume in the bag. When you reduce the volume the pressure increases because there are the sam amount of particles in less space. when you finally squeeze hard enough the bag pops and the air is released. this makes the voolume bigger, which in turn makes the pressure less. The temperature never changes.( Picture curticy of http://edenlane.blogspot.com/2007/09/all-thatand-bag-of-chip-too.html)
Great example!!!
