Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Gas Pressure and Temperature Relationship lab resource also includes:

Humans tend to huddle together when cold and move around more when warm, but do gas particles follow the same pattern? Scholars use a temperature probe, a pressure sensor, and air to study the relationship between temperature and gas pressure. They gather data, display it in a table, then interpret the results with a graph, a paragraph, and a mathematical equation.
