Boyle's Law, Varying Volume

Students observe the inverse relationship between pressure and volume at constant temperature using a syringe connected to a pressure gauge. Provides direct quantitative evidence for Boyle's Law .

Boyle's Law, Varying Pressure

Quantitatively demonstrates Boyle's Law by measuring pressure-volume pairs as compressed air drives a piston in a sealed cylinder. Students verify the inverse relationship between pressure and volume at constant temperature.
