Today in class we discussed the relationship between changes in volume of a gas and its resulting effect on the pressure of the gas in a closed system. Through our particle models, we determined that as the volume decreases, the pressure will increase, or vice versa (also known as Boyle's Law). We put this phenomena into action by using an increase in air pressure as a result of a decrease in volume to shoot a potato core through a pipe, effectively making a potato launcher.
