III. Procedure
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY LEARNER’S ACTIVITY

A. Preliminary Activities
 Prayer (one student will lead the prayer)
May we all stand and let us pray. Amen!

 Greetings
“Good morning class!” “Good morning, ma’am!”

How are you today? We’re good ma’am!

Have you taken your breakfast? Yes ma’am!

That’s good!
Everyone! Before taking your seats,
kindly arrange your chairs and pick up
all the litter under your chairs.

You may now take your seats Thank you ma’am!

 Checking of Attendance
Who are absent today? Are you all Yes ma’am!
present?

That’s good!

B. Review

What was our topic last meeting?

Anyone?
Yes Nadine?
We talked about properties of gas
 ma’am!
Very Good! Ma’am!
What else? Yes Daniele? We also learned about Kinetic Molecular
Theory which states that gases like any
other states of matter, consist of very
tiny particles, each of which has mass.

Very good!

C. Engage

Are you one of those people who can’t Yes ma’am!

resist popping the bubbles of the bubble
wrap? Yes ma’am!
Do you love to squeeze those little
plastic bubbles?
What happens when you squeeze those Ma’am!
little plastic bubbles? (raising hand)

Yes Kat? Before the bubbles pop, the air pressing

against the inside of the bubbles inflate
them like tiny balloons. So when you
pop the bubbles, most of the air rushes
Very Good! out.
So, as the bubble is squeezed to a
smaller volume, pressure inside
the bubble increases until it is high
enough to burst the bubble.

D. Explore

Now we will have a group activity which is

entitled “Marshmallow Magic”.

We will form four groups through counting

system. Students count 1 to 4 and
afterwards go to your perspective group
and perform the activity.
(students are counting 1 to 4 and meet
PROCEDURE: with their group mates)
1. Place the miniature marshmallow inside
syringe.
2. Move plunger to about 30 mL.
3. Put cap on tip (or hold finger over end)
so no air can escape.
4. Experiment by moving the plunger back
and forth, increasing and decreasing
volume of container. Observe what
happens to the marshmallow.

compress causing the marshmallow to
decrease in size. When the plunger is
 pulled, the air pressure will now
decrease inside the syringe causing a
vacuum. Under this reduced pressure,
the expanding air will fill the syringe and
cause the marshmallow to increase in
its size.

As the volume of the container increased

the air? How did that affect the
marshmallow?

Did the temperature of the air change?

Use kinetic molecular theory to explain how

the air particles exerted pressure on the
marshmallow.

Very good class!

So when a marshmallow is placed in a Thank you ma’am!

large capped syringe and the plunger is
pushed in, the air in the marshmallow
contracts from the pressure. Conversely, if
the plunger is pulled back, the pressure
decreases causing the air in the
marshmallow to expand.

You did very well in conducting and

observing the results of the activity!

Ok class, anyone of you who will give

his/her testimony about the activity?
“I can’t believe how much fun something
Yes Sharon? this simple is!”

Great!

F. Elaborate

Through our activity we learned that when

the pressure of a gas increases, it’s volume
decreases, and vice versa.

This is the principle of Boyle’s Law of

Gases.

Before we proceed to the calculations, we

need to know who is the man behind this
law or who introduced this law? Do you
have any idea? Ma’am! He is Robert Boyle, an Anglo
Very good! Irish chemist.

Below are some results of an experiment

Pressure P Volume V PxV

1.1 40 44

1.7 26

2.2 20

2.6 17

Calculate PV (pressure x volume) for each

set of results. What do you notice?

Very Good class! Ma’am all of the answers is the same.

From row 1 to 4, the answer is 44.
What these experiment show is that when
pressure is multiplied by its volume for each
set of results remains constant (PV = k).

This is called Boyle’s Law

Let us look at the results again,

Pressure P Volume V PxV

1.1 40 44

1.7 26 44

2.2 20 44

2.6 17 44

Did you notice that if P is doubled, V is

halved?

If P increases to 3 times as much, V Yes Ma’am!

decrease to 1/3?

This means volume is inversely proportional Yes Ma’am! But how is that possible
to pressure, or ma’am?
1
V ∝P

In Boyle’s Law, it states that the volume of

a given mass of a gas held at constant
temperature is inversely proportional to its
pressure.

For a given sample of gas under two

different conditions at a constant
temperature, the product of pressure
and volume is constant; thus, it is written
as follows:
 P1V1 = P2V2

Where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure

and volume, while P2 and V2 are the final
pressure and volume of the same
amount of gas at the same temperature.

Example 1:

The inflated balloon that slipped from the hand

of Renn has a volume of 0.50 L at sea level
(1.0 atm) and it reached a height of
approximately 8 km where the atmospheric
pressure is approximately 0.33 atm. Assuming
that the temperature is constant, compute for
the final volume of the balloon.

Given: V1 = 0.50 L
P1 = 1.0 atm
P2 = 0.33 atm
Find: V2
Solution:
P1V1 = P 2V2
P1V 1
V2 =
P2

(1.0 atm)(0.50 L)
V2 =
0.33 atm

V2 = 1.52 L

Example 2:
Freon in an air-conditioning unit has a
volume of 0.30 liter. It is allowed to function
in a room where the pressure is about 0.83
atm, assuming that the temperature is in
constant state. Find the final pressure of
Freon when its volume is increased to 0.95
liter.

Anyone who can answer this sample

exercise on the board?

Yes Patrick. Show your answers on the board. Me ma’am!

Given: V1 = 0.30 L
P1 = 0.83 atm
V2 = 0.95 L
Find: P2
Solution:
P1V1 = P 2V2
P1V 1
P2 =
V2
 (0.83 atm)(0.30 L)
V2 =
0.95 atm

P2 = 0. 26 atm
Wonderful! Any question class?

Any clarification?

Ok if there’s no more questions or clarification,

None ma’am!

G. Evaluate None ma’am!

On a ½ crosswise sheet of paper, answer

the problems below and identify the given and

1. A cylinder of compressed gas has a volume

of 0.90 L and a pressure of 0.94 atm. What
volume would the gas occupy if allowed to

that the temperature does not change.
2. A sample of gas occupies a volume of 350
mL under a pressure of 0.75 atm. If the
temperature is held constant, what volume
