Objective Five

1. The relationship between volume, pressure, and temperature is described in Boyle's Law.
2. If you take a helium balloon home from a birthday party, it will float up into the air and pop.  This is the same with a hot air balloon.  When pressure rises from traveling up into the air, the energy in the balloon increases and the balloon expands.
3. As Volume decreases, Pressure increases.  As Temperature increases, Pressure increases.
4. Physicians use Boyle's Law in use with oxygen tanks for patients.
5. SCUBA divers depend on Boyle's Law to survive.  They need to know how much oxygen they will need when the go under water.  The lower you go under water, the higher the pressure is.
