Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Gas laws from experiment in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: AQA
Boyle's law, Charles's law and the pressure law were established by making measurements of p, V and T and generalising patterns from the data.
