Eugene H. Embalzado Jr., ECE, CCNA

Short Skit – Gas Laws
• Group yourselves according to your Laboratory Groupings.
• Perform a short skit for the assigned topic to your group indicated
below. Skit could represent an everyday encounter of the gas law
assigned to you.
• Kolimlim Group – Boyle’s Law
• Ramirez Group – Charles’ Law
• Embestro Group – Gay-Lussac’s Law
• Alcantara Group – Avogadro’s Law
• You will be given 10 minutes to finalize your skit as the class starts.
• Short Skit – 5 minutes per group
