Overview

This lesson introduces a computer model that allows them to change the location of one of the walls of the container, hence experiment with different volumes. They use this model to examine the relationships between container volume and pressure. Students use CODAP to collect data and then find a mathematical equation of the relationship between volume and pressure. They use the equation to make predictions about what the pressure will be for different volumes.
