Boyle's Law
by Anonymous
Add weights or heat the cylinder to see why pressure times volume stays constant while particles just squeeze closer or move faster.

About this app
Boyle's Law is an interactive middle-school science activity about how gas pressure and volume change. Add weights to squeeze a fixed number of particles and check that pressure × volume remains 60, then change temperature to observe the volume response. A prediction section applies these ideas to snack bags, underwater bubbles, dented ping-pong balls, and rigid cans.
Use cases
- Middle-school students learning gas behavior
- Teachers demonstrating Boyle's Law in class
- Self-study of pressure, volume, and temperature
- Science experiment preparation and review
Features
- Interactive weight controls for changing gas pressure
- Displays pressure, volume, particle count, and pressure × volume
- Temperature controls showing volume changes of 2 per 20℃
- Six-state observation activities with reset and next controls
- Prediction questions based on everyday gas examples
