Lab write-ups and graphs Homework problems Quiz
Lesson One: Charles' Law - Introduce law, present sample data, students enter and graph using spread sheet program, problems to solve for homework Lesson Two: Boyle's Law -Students prepare lab write-up in groups using word processor, perform lab, record data. -Students enter data on spreadsheet program, and try graphing direct and inverse relationships of pressure and volume. - Groups compare graphs to determine that pressure nd volume are related inversely. - Students solve problems for homework.
