2. Gas Law Web-Quest Robert Boyle and Gasses By: Lynn Trevarthen, Joanne Klonowski & Jeff Venegas

3. Objectives To become more familiar with the properties of gas laws Develop research skills through the interactive web-quest Enhance presentation skills by displaying your findings to the class

4. What is Boyle’s Law Find the basic principles of Boyle’s law online, using these reference sources: www.wikipedia.org www.howstuffworks.com www.reference.com (choose 1) Use http://plato.stanford.edu/entrie s/boyle/ to gather more specific information http://plato.stanford.edu/entrie s/boyle/ Think about the principles of Boyle’s Law... Have you encountered any real life situations that use Boyle’s Law? If not, can you think of how or where Boyle’s Law can be used?

5. Lab Simulation Use: http://www.chem.iastate.edu/group/Greenbowe/secti ons/projectfolder/flashfiles/gaslaw/boyles_law_new.s wf to investigate a Boyle’s Law application http://www.chem.iastate.edu/group/Greenbowe/secti ons/projectfolder/flashfiles/gaslaw/boyles_law_new.s wf Go to http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~derrickc/boyleslaw.htm to look over data analysis models http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~derrickc/boyleslaw.htm

6. Applying Boyle’s Law Boyle’s Law explains the inverse relationship between the volume of the gas and the pressure exerted by the gas pV=k Where p = pressure V = volume k = constant

7. Computing the Equation of the Regression Line for your Data Using your graphing calculator: 1. Create a STAT plot of your data. 2. By looking at the shape of the STAT plot, determine the degree of the polynomial that best represents the data. 3. Compute and graph the regression line.

8. Real World Application of Boyle’s Law Using your graphing calculator: 1. Create a STAT plot of your data. 2. By looking at the shape of the STAT plot, determine the degree of the polynomial that best represents the data. 3. Compute and graph the regression line.

9. Your Presentation Create a 5 minute presentation of your real world application of Boyle’s Law Your presentation should include a demonstration. It should be original, engaging, and informative. The grading rubric for your presentation can be viewed at: http://www.idebate.org/handouts/documents/Spea king%20Across%20the%20Curriculum.pdf http://www.idebate.org/handouts/documents/Spea king%20Across%20the%20Curriculum.pdf Have fun!
