What can i relate volume and pressure to?
I have a chemistry project due next week, and i have to thing of something and describes how it relates to Charles' Law, and Boyle s' Law, a lot of the students in my class are doing engine, and my teacher said there can be no more engine projects, the engine would be the easier since the volume decreases, pressures increases, but i cant use that, so can someone please help me think of something that relates too those laws?

A hot air balloon analogy?
Hot air balloons → air is heated (↑ temperature) inside balloon, which causes particles to move faster & “spread out”, which INCREASES VOLUME (of balloon). As air (inside balloon) is heated, it becomes less dense (than air outside balloon) = lift off.
o ↑’ing temperature of gas will cause it to expand (↑) its volume
o kinetic theory = ↑’ing temperature will cause molecules to move faster = ↑’d collisions = ↑pressure
o in order to keep pressure constant (ie: prevent ↑ in pressure), the volume increases so that molecules must travel further to hit wall of container (force)
