**** Update *****

This is a first pass at modifying the Boyle's Law illustration to demonstrate Charles' Law. The current version is non-interactive but all the elements are placed.

The relationship between temperature and volume of an ideal gas will be shown by allowing the temperature to change by dragging the red temperature indicator up or down. Changes in temperature will cause the plunger of the syringe to move so that the volume of inside the syringe varies in accordance with Charles' Law.

Status V 01:

• Thermometer added to the bottom left of the Boyle's Law template to allow temperature to be varied
• Thermometer range labeled in Kelvin and Celsius
• A temperature reporter has been added to the top of the illustration
• The starting temperature is 20 °C and the red temperature indicator is positioned to show this temperature
• The volume at 20 °C is 47.1 ml. This makes the total volume range 60 ml at 100 °C and 0 ml at 0 K (-273 °C).

Next Steps:

• Add moving particles to the syringe container
• Make the red indicator in the thermometer dragable so that the temperature can be varied from 0 to 373 K (-273 to 100 °C).
• Have the syringe plunger adjust with adjusting temperature
• Add a graph to show the linear relationship between temperature and volume. The graph will be modeled after the ones on the Boyle's Law illustration. Points will be plotted every time the temperature adjustment stops.
