Boyle's Law: An example that happens in real life is popping your ears on an airplane. When the plane is ascending, it is going from high air pressure to low air pressure. The pressure on the inside of your ears is also building up, causing the volume to increase as well. Popping your ears lets the pressure escape.
Charle's Law: If you blow up a balloon on a cold winters day and then take it outside, it will start to shrivel
up. Then bring it back inside and it will begin to expand again. This is because when the temperature decreases, the balloon becomes less dense, making the volume go down also. The same with increasing the temperature. When the temp. goes up, the balloon gets more dense, making the molecules less concentrated, increasing the volume.
Gay-Lussac's Law: When it is hot outside, sometimes the tires explode because the pressure of the gas inside the tires increases with the temperature. The pressure builds up inside causing it to explode.
