This activity is an extension of the common balloon cars, where students explore if and how different gases used as a fuel source effect the distances traveled by the cars.

This is an activity where students watch what happens to marshmallows under pressure and relate it to Boyle's law.

SSAC Physical Volcanology module. Students build a spreadsheet and apply the ideal gas law to model the velocity of a bubble rising in a viscous magma.

This activiy with cartesian divers introduces the gas laws in a high school chemisry class.

This activity is a hands-on activity to help students learn the behavior of gas particles.

This is a lab activity where students observe the relationship between pressure and volume. They use their data to determine the formula for Boyle's Law.

Students will create their own barometer in this activity and use it to discover atmospheric pressure and its relationship to the boiling points of liquids.

Hands on Chemistry is a resource designed for use in traditional, online, and blended high school Chemistry classrooms. It was developed by Blue Ridge PBS in collaboration with Virtual Virginia. In this video, Chemistry teacher Fred Mitchell demonstrates the principles of Boyle's Law.

This is an inquiry lab used as introduction to kinetic theory. It is also a great tool for assessing prior knowledge of the topic.

This is a lab designed to allow students to create and collect gas through a simple acid-metal reaction.

This activity is a mini-lab where students determine relationships between gas laws and temperature, pressure, and volume; particularly Charles and Boyle's Law. The concept of mini-labs originated from Dr. Dan Branan and Dr. Matt Morgan. See mini-labs.org for more details.

This activity is an indoor lab for use with Vernier gas pressure sensors that allows students to experimentally determine the molar volume of a gas and ideal gas constant.

This lab crushes an aluminum can to investigate states of matter and air pressure.

Watch different types of molecules form a solid, liquid, or gas. Add or remove heat and watch the phase change. Change the temperature or volume of a container and see a pressure-temperature diagram respond in real time. Relate the interaction potential to the forces between molecules.

This investigation uses the relationship between volume and temperature to reinforce the ideal gas law. It also uses the data collected to find absolute zero.
