Introduction of the topic
So, is there anyone here who is familiar or knows something about Boyle’s Law?
Anyone? None?
3. EXPLORE
I will group you into 3 groups and each group has a corresponding task to do. This
activity is good for only 10 minutes so please cooperate then after the group
representatives will present. The classroom has three learning stations. Each of them
offers a different topic that you will observe and examine. I will assign each group to
a designated learning station. After 3 minutes, I will proceed to the next learning area
until I finish visiting all learning stations.

Let us start the activity. (Designated learning stations for the groups:)
Group 1 – STATION 1
Group 2 – STATION 2
Group 3 – STATION 3
LEARNING STATION 1

constant temperature.

Title: Cartesian Diver

Materials: 1 transparent plastic bottle 6 paper clip 2 drinking straw Water scissors
Procedure:
1. Cut the straw into small pieces, fold it into two and carefully attach the paper clip
to it.
2. Full the plastic bottle with water and put the finish straw paperclip inside it.
3. Press the bottle then observe and answer the following guide questions.

Guide Questions:

1. What happen when the bottle is squeezed?

2. What happen when the bottle is released?
3. What variables affect an object’s ability to float?
4. Use the variables you listed in question 3 to explain what is happening inside the
bottle.

LEARNING STATION 2
Objective: Investigate the relationship between volume and pressure of a gas at
constant temperature.

Title: Marshmallow Fluff

Materials: syringe, marshmallow
Procedure:
1. Place three mini marshmallows in a syringe.
2. Push the plunger down just until it touches the top of the marshmallows.
3. Put your finger over the tip of the syringe to form a seal. Observe and answer the
guide questions.
4. Pull up on the plunger.
5. Take your finger off the tip.
6. Pull the plunger to the top of the syringe, seal the tip with your finger again and
push the plunger down. Observe and answer the following guide questions.
GUIDED QUESTIONS:
1. What happen to the marshmallows?
2. What is being decreased inside the syringe?
3. What is being increased? How do these variables affect each other?
LEARNING STATION 3
Objective: Investigate the relationship between volume and pressure of a gas at
constant temperature.
Title: Bottled Balloon
Materials: 1 transparent plastic bottle 1 big balloon 2 small balloons Electrical tape
Rubber band scissors
Procedure:
1. Pull down the balloon that is placed at the bottom of the bottle.
2. Push the balloon up.
GUIDED QUESTIONS:
1. What happen to the 2 small balloons inside the bottle when you pull the balloon
at the bottom?
2. What happen to the 2 small balloons inside the bottle when you push up the
balloon at the bottom?

4. EXPLAIN
Let us examine and hear your observations in the activity. Each group shall have a
designated speaker to present what they’ve observed in a learning area. Each group
will only present their observations in the first learning area that they visited. (The
teacher will assist the learners in the presentation. The teacher will give the correct
scientific term for every needed observation.)
Discussion:
- Group 1 will present 1st.
- Group 2
- Group 3
So according to Boyle’s Law wherein it states that the pressure and volume of the gas
are inversely proportional to each other
in a constant temperature so what does
it means? Anyone? From the word
inversely? Anyone? Yes?
And it can be expressed in a
mathematical equation as:
V α 1/P at constant T and n
Thus, k= VP
where;
V= volume T= temperature
P= pressure n = amount of the gas

Sample Problem 1:

A gas occupies 5 liters at 50 atm. What is the pressure if the volume becomes 10 L?
Given: V1= 5L P1= 50atm V2=10L P2=?
 As stated earlier, according to Boyle’s law what is the relationship between volume
and pressure? Okay, that’s true, as you can see in the given problem what happen to
the final volume? So, what do think will happen to the final pressure if the final
volume increased?

Let’s derived for the given formula:

P1V1=P2V2
P2 = V1 P1 = (5L) (50 atm)
V2 10L
= 250/10 = 25atm

Sample Problem 2:

The inflated balloon that slipped from the hand of Ren has a volume of 0.50 L at sea
level (1.o atm) and it reached a height of approximately 8 kilometers where the
atmospheric pressure is approximately 0.33 atm. Assume that the temperature is
constant, compute for the final volume of the balloon.
Given:
V1 = 0.50L V2=? P1 = 1.0 atm P2= 0.33 atm
Solution:
V1 P1 = P2 V2
V2 = V1 P1 = (0.50L) (1.0 atm)
P2 0.33 atm
= 1.5 L

5. ELABORATE
Okay now class let’s try the concept of Boyle’s law in our real-life situation. Try to
inhale and exhale deeply. What did you notice? To the near part of your stomach?
When you inhaled what happen to that part? And what about when you exhaled?
Anyone?

For your next activity, we are going to have the 321.

3 - things you learned
2 – things you found interesting
1 – question you still have

6. EVALUATE
Assessment

temperature
Volume Pressure
a. Increases _____________
b. ____________ increases

c. If the pressure of a gas decreases, what happens to its volume if no changes occur
in the temperature in the amount of gas?
d. Oxygen gas inside a 14.5 L gas tank has a pressure of 0.95 atm. Provided that
temperature remains constant, how much pressure is needed to reduce its volume
by ½?

7. EXTEND
Assignment
1. A sample of fluorine gas occupies a volume of 550 mL at 860 torr. Given that the
temperature remains the same, calculate the pressure required to reduce its
volume by 1/3.
