Boyle’s Law

This is a movie designed to teach one of the oldest laws in thermodynamics – and fundamental to science as a whole! Boyle’s Law describes mathematically the relationship between the pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas. The movie includes an interactive animation that describes the law pictorially, examining the law’s predictions and compares them to the behaviour of a real gas (argon). The movie then goes on to evaluate the law in words and an equation, and finally a small number of questions are asked to check understanding.
