An image of the Gas Law Apparatus set up

This is what your table should look like once set up

Additional Images below:

The General class setup.

There should be A DI container with a bucket below for catching Drips,

a cooler (Should be one of the yellow ones) with ice, and the Fire piston setup

A lower image of the full table set up

The fire piston, pokey stick, and gun cotton

Fire Pistons Don't let Will forget them!!!!
