is directly proportional to each other meaning if the volume increases then the
temperature also increases and if the volume decreases then the temperature also
decreases. Everyday experience suggests that most objects shrink when they cool down
and expand when they heat up. The samples of air whose volumes of balloons are
measured in this experiment fit this pattern of behavior.
Objective
At the end of the experiment the observers have expected the following outcomes:
Explain the concepts of ideal gas law specifically by looking at V and T
relationship.
Understand the concepts of ideal gas law and variable relationship.
Perform hands-on experiment using home reagents
Materials:
The following are the expected materials needed to perform the experiment:
Materials Figure Description
Balloon Bag It can be either Rubber or
Plastic Balloon that can
withstand high pressure
and temperature. At least
three pieces is enough.
Prepare dipper
Get 1/2 full ice block Add tap water Pour boiled water

Appendix A
Balloon in Cold Water
The image shows the balloon is putted on a bowl containing tap water that has a room
temperature.
Appendix C
Balloon in Hot Water
The picture shows the overall result of the experiment after 5 minutes of storing of the
balloon at different containers with different temperatures.
