Introduction
Gas is a kind of substance whereas its particles are very distant from each other,
move very fast, and aren't attracted to one another. Gases are significantly less dense than
liquids or solids due to the reason that their molecules are so far away from one another.
This activity aims to help students to understand the laws of gases, particularly Boyle,
Charles, Avogadro, and Gay-Lussac’s law.

Conclusion
These activities demonstrate how different gas laws are observed on a daily basis.
In this activity, we observed that the gas laws of Boyle, Charles, Avogadro, and
Gay-Lussac are involved in different situations or circumstances which occur each day.
Boyle’s gas law defines the inversely proportional relationship between volume and
pressure. One of the examples given which demonstrates Boyle’s gas law is breathing.
On the other hand, Charles’ law states that the volume occupied by gas is directly
proportional to its temperature. An example of this is baking. Moreover, basketball is an
example of Avogradro’s gas law which states that the volume and number of moles are
directly proportional if the temperature and pressure remain constant. Lastly,
Gay-Lussac’s law is when the volume of the gas is held constant whilst the pressure
exerted by the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas. An example of
Gay-Lussac’s law is a Kettle.
