There are two versions of each lab, one with a ten-question conclusion and one with directions for a full lab report. This way the teacher has the option! Each lab is two pages to allow for one two-sided handout.
It will take a week or so to get to you, so Order Now!

I have published several posts about the relationship of gas volume and pressure to temperature. For your reference, they are: Charles’ Law on 01/29/2014; Gay Lussac’s Law on 02/02/2014; Charles’ Law in Freezing Temperatures on 01/14/2015; and, Gay Lussac’s Law Demonstration on 01/21/2015.
These posts might be a handy refresher of labs or demonstrations for this time of year. One typical problem during this time of year is reduced automobile tire pressure due to low temperatures. Here is a brief article that might be useful for a homework assignment:
