BOYLE’S LAW ACTIVTIY WORKSHEET

Activity no. : ____

I. Objective: be able to describe the relationship between pressure and volume.

I. Materials: Large plastic syringe (without a needle)

Large marshmallow
Felt-tip pen
III. Procedure
1. Draw a face on one side of the marshmallow and place it in the plastic syringe so the face can be seen
from the side.

2. Place your thumb over the end of the syringe where the needle is usually located. Holding your thumb
in place, push in the plunger. Observe what happens to the marshmallow as you do so.

3. With your thumb still in place, pull the plunger out and observe what happens.

IV. Observation
A. Boyle’s Gas Law: Plunger In

B. Boyle’s Gas Law: Plunger Out

V. Questions
1. What happened to the marshmallow when you pushed in the plunger?
 2. What happened when the plunger was pulled out?

Answers

1. states that when temperature is held constant, thevolume—the amount of space occupied by matter
—of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure, the force per unit area. This simply means that if
the pressure increases and temperature remains the same, the volume decreases. The opposite is also
true (if the pressure decreases and the temperature remains the same, the volume increases). This
activity will demonstrate Boyle's Law using a marshmallow and a syringe.
1. When you pushed in the plunger, the air pressure increased, pushing the bubbles out of the
marshmallow and decreasing its size. When the plunger was pulled out, the pressure decreased so the
marshmallow expanded in size.
2. Boyle's law says that when temperature is constant, the pressure and volume are inversely related.
This means that when pressure is low, volume is high, and vice versa. This is what you saw happen in
the activity.
