Examples of different laws

Boyle's Law:
We had a flask and put hot water in it and swirled it around and then dumped it out, we than put a hard boiled egg on top and than set it in cold water and it sucked it in. Once the egg was in there we had to put the egg at the opening of the flask and blow really hard and the egg would slid out. This is boyles law just because it says that pressure and volume are opposite and thats excactly what it is showing here.

Charles' Law:
We used this blue liqued and filled a pipet with it, we layed it down and measured it. We than placed a text book on it and measured it. We than placed another book and it and measured it again. We did this untill we got to 4 books. I think this is an example of charles law because its under pressure the entire time.

Gay-Lusacs:
Before we did anything with the marshmallow's we pulled out the syringe and placed the marshmallow at the bottom comfortable with out squishing it, then we proceeded to put the other half of the syringe back in and place it on top of the marshmallow. We then pulled back the syringe and the marshmallow expanded as we kept pulling back. I believe this is a great example of Boyle's law just because in Boyle's law it states that the temp stays constant, and the pressure and volume are inversely related.

  1. you did a good job on saying why you thought the law went with each lab.
    you could maybe be a little more specific on some of the details.
    i think over all you did a good job
