PhET Simulation: Gas Properties

Website Detail Page

published by the Physics Education Technology Project

This simulation provides a highly visual, interactive way for students to explore gas properties. As they pump gas molecules into a chamber, they control volume, add/remove heat, and change gravity. A pop-up histogram helps them see the relationship between kinetic energy and heat. This item is part of a larger collection of simulations developed by the Physics Education Technology project (PhET).
