How Can We Experimentally Verify Boyle's Law in the Classroom?

To check Boyle's Law in class, we can do a fun and easy experiment:

  1. What You Need:

    • A syringe (make sure it doesn’t have a needle)
    • A pressure sensor or a force sensor
    • A stopwatch
  2. Steps to Follow:

    • Pull the plunger on the syringe to get a certain amount of air inside.
    • Slowly push the plunger down and check the pressure at different amounts of air (volumes).
    • Write down what you find!
  3. Understanding the Results:

    • Boyle's Law tells us that when you multiply pressure (P) and volume (V), you get a constant value (k).
    • If you make a graph with pressure on one side and volume on the other, you should see a curved line.

This experiment is fun and really helps you see how Boyle's Law works!
