"## Introduction\n",
"Experimentally verifying a formula might seem trivial, but when you ask students in a concrete case - such as Boyle's Law - how to do it, problems arise. What do you want to measure? How do you measure it? When do you consider results to sufficiently match theory? With Boyle's law, results often don't align. Where does it go wrong? This demonstration lets students consider what goes wrong and how to adapt the model to compensate for incorrect assumptions.\n",
