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).
This resource is part of 2 Physics Front Topical Units.
Topic: Heat and Temperature
Unit Title: The Relationship Between Heat and Temperature In this entertaining simulation, students pump gas molecules into a chamber. They can control volume, heat, and change gravity. A pop-up histogram helps them see the connection between kinetic energy and heat. This versatile resource can be adapted for a variety of courses and learner capability levels. Link to Unit:
