Charles' Law of Gases.
Petty, John T.
Journal of Chemical Education, v72 n3 p257 Mar 1995
Describes an experiment that uses air to test Charles' law. Reinforces the student's intuitive feel for Charles' law with quantitative numbers they can see, introduces the idea of extrapolating experimental data to obtain a theoretical value, and gives a physical quantitative meaning to the concept of absolute zero.
