Charles law states that if the temperature of a gas increases, then the volume increases (and the opposite a.k.a. temp. goes down, volume goes down).

Imagine a balloon filled with helium on a cold winter day. While you are in the shop, the balloon is normal. As you step outside the balloon begins to shrivel up. This happens because of the temp. of the helium in the balloon deceases and becomes less dense, because the helium particles lose energy and become more concentrated, decreasing the volume. But when you put the balloon in a warm area, it goes back to its original size. I hope this helped you.

A football inflated inside and then taken outdoors on a winter day shrinks slightly. A slightly underinflated rubber life raft left in bright sunlight swells up (Why shouldn't you overinflate your life raft when your ship goes down in tropical waters?) The plunger on a turkey syringe thermometer pops out when the turkey is done (The volume of air trapped under the plunger increases when the temperature inside the turkey climbs).
