III. Learning Activities

A. Recall/Review:
Teacher Expected Students’ Response
Good morning class. Last meeting we have discussed Yes, Sir.
the different properties of gases.
What are the properties of gases? Sir, gases have pressure, volume, temperature and
number of moles.
Sir gases have mass and volume.
What else? Gases diffuse. They are also compressible. They also
exert pressure.

B. Motivation
Teacher Expected Students’ Response
The teacher shows a bottle filled with water that has
an upside-down test-tube inside.
Class, what do you see? Sir, a bottle filled with water.
What else? Sir there is an upside-down test tube inside the bottle.
It is half-filled with water.
If the test tube is half filled with water, what do you Sir it must be filled with air.
think occupies the other half?
Very Good! I have here a bottle filled with water.
Inside it, there is a test tube half-filled with water,
placed upside-down.
Now, you will be using the power of your mind by Sink! (Wow!)
commanding the test tube to float or sink. Say sink!
Say float! Float! (Woa!)
Say sink! (the test tube won’t sink)
Why do you think the test tube sink? Why do you think
the test tube floats? That would be our lesson for
today. Today we will investigate the relationship
between pressure and volume as two of the physical
properties of gases.

C. Pre-Activity
Teacher Expected Students’ Response
 I have already prepared the materials that you need. Yes sir.
Each group will have one of these setups and a set of
weights.
You will follow the direction indicated in the activity
sheets when performing the activity.
Make sure that you’ll handle the weights properly.
After distributing the materials and the activity sheets,
the teacher will discuss the procedure of the activity.
You will be given 20 mins to finish the procedure
indicated in the activity sheet.

D. Activity
Refer to the attached activity (Boyle’s Law)

E. Post Laboratory

Teacher Expected Students’ Response

The teacher asks one or two groups of students to
present their output.
Thank you group ________. Now, did the other groups Yes sir.
have the same results/output? No sir.
The teacher addresses the difference on other groups’
result.
Now let us try to answer our guide questions. What The pressure increases as set of weights are added.
happens to the pressure on the syringe when the set
of weight is added?
What happens to volume of gas inside the syringe as The volume of gas inside the syringe decreases as set
the set of weights is added on top of it? of weights are added on top of it.

Based on the graph, what is the relationship between
pressure and volume at constant temperature?
Very Good! The activity you have performed enables
you to observe Boyle’s Law, which can be used to
describe the relationship between the volume and
pressure of gases at constant temperature.
Sir, based on the graph, volume decreases when
pressure increase.
Sir, based on the activity that we did, we realized that
volume would decrease as when pressure is
increased.

The proponent of Boyle’s Law is Robert Boyle. He is a But sir who is Boyle?
well-known chemist and Physicist.
(The teacher would show a picture of Robert Boyle.)

Now, based on the result of your activity, what can you

infer about the relationship between pressure and
volume?
Sir, based on the activity, we may say the Boyle’s law
states that the volume and pressure of gas varies
inversely.
Very good!

IV. Generalization
Teacher Expected Students’ Response
Now let us go back to our bottle of water that I Sir because you pressed the bottle.
showed you a while ago. This is called Cartesian Sir because it became denser.
dive. Again, why do you think the test-tube sinks? Sir because as you press the bottle, the volume of the gas
Floats? inside the test tube is compressed/reduced.
Very Good! As we press the bottle, we are adding Sir the volume of gas will decrease when the pressure is

happens to the volume of gas inside the test tube
when pressure is increased?
Also, the concept of Cartesian dive is the same with
the mechanics of how submarines sinks
underwater.
Very good!

V. Application
Teacher Expected Students’ Response
 In your Grade 9 lesson on living things and their Sir the balloons that represent the lungs expanded.
environment, you made use of the lung model to
explain the respiratory system. I have a model here the
same as what you made last year.
What do you notice as you pull the bigger balloon that
represents the diaphragm?
Yes, the lungs expand! Now, how can we relate this Sir, moving the diaphragm causes change in pressure
with our today’s topic? inside the thoracic cavity which causes the change in
lungs’ volume
Very Good! The mechanics of our breathing could be None Sir.
explained with Boyle’s law since our breathing involves
changes in both pressure and volume of the lungs.
Aside from that, Boyle’s also explains how submarine
works and why SCUBA divers need oxygen tanks when
diving.
(The teacher would flash photos of submarine
underwater, and SCUBA divers.

Class do you have any question?

Very well. Then everyone, get ¼ sheet of paper and
answer the following questions.

VII. Assignment
A. Search for the mathematical equation that represent Boyle’s Law.
B. Using the equation for Boyle’s Law, solve the following problems:
1. A container holds 500 ml of CO2 at 200C and 742 torr. What will be the volume of CO 2 if the pressure is
increased to 795 torr?
2. A balloon contains 7.2 L of He. The pressure is reduced to 2.00 atm and the balloon expands to occupy a
volume of 25.1 L. What was the initial pressure exerted on the balloon?
