This project explores Boyle's Law by using syringes to demonstrate how gas volume and pressure are inversely related. As you compress the gas, observe how the volume decreases while the pressure increases, providing a practical understanding of this foundational gas law.
If the volume of the gas decreases, then the pressure will increase, demonstrating Boyle's Law.

Assemble the syringes without needles and prepare to measure gas.
Fill one syringe with air and measure its initial volume.
Use rubber bands to apply pressure by compressing the syringe.
Measure the new volume after applying pressure.
Record the pressure applied and the corresponding volume.
Repeat the process for different levels of pressure and record each outcome.
Analyze the relationship between pressure and volume.
Draw conclusions based on the experimental data.
You will observe that as the volume of the gas decreases, the pressure increases, confirming Boyle's Law. Data points will show an inverse relationship, illustrating the mathematical principle.
