The Incredible Shrinking Marshmallow:

(and now the scientific title)
Exploring the Relationship Between the Volume of a Container and the Pressure of the Gas
Homework today is to write (or re-write) the Marshmallow Madness worksheet.

Your hypothesis should be an "if-then" statement, your data will be drawings, and your conclusions should be a discussion of how this experiment supports the Kinetic Particle Theory.  Also refer to your textbook 16.3 under "Boyle's Law."
  • All matter is made of particles
  • All particles are in constant random motion
  • and are constantly colliding with the walls of their container and with each other

To Think About:  What is the difference between a scientific law, a scientific theory and a scientific model?

REMINDER: Art homework is to completely draw the Pizza - 15 slices on the media paper, and be ready to paint next Thursday.
