Silent Lab
Boyles Law states that at constant temperature the pressure and the volume are inversly related, therefore if one goes up the other goes down. An example of this would be station 1. When you pulled the syringe back releasing the pressure the pumpkin got bigger increasing the volume.
Charles Law states that at constant pressure the temperature and volume are directly related therefore if one goes up the other one goes up. An example of this would be the bike pump lab. While pressure stayed the same when the bottle got warmer the volume increased.
Gay-Lusaacs law states that at constant volume the pressure and temperature are directly related therefore if one goes up or down the other one goes up or down. An example of this would be sation four. When the can was taken from hot water to cold water it got crushed decreasing the volume.
A real life example of the Gas Laws would be how hot air balloons are able to blow up. When you increase the amount of heat put into the balloon the volume of the balloon increases to hold more air. This would be an example of Charles Law because pressure is constant while temperature and volume both increases.

I think you did a good job explaining the laws. I had the air pump experiment for gay-lusaac's law which isn't that different than what you had but I think you could try to go more in depth about why the experiments are related
