Before you open the simulation:


 


PREDICT


1. Draw a diagram below showing what you think the molecules will look like for each state of matter, solid, liquid, and gas. Write a sentence below each diagram predicting what the motion of the molecules will be like.


 


 
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Diagram of molecules
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 


 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

Sentence explaining how molecules will be moving.
The molecules won’t be moving much at all and stay close together.
The molecules will be moving faster than the solid but still not super quickly.
The  molecules will be moving so quickly and be on speed.


 


2. If you start with a substance as a solid, what will happen to the molecules as you add thermal energy (heat)?            The molecules will start to move more and more quickly as you continue to add heat.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        






The molecules in the simulation aren't moving at all and are super close together.  But absolute zero is impossible to get to.  The oxygen and hydrogen are the ones that are attracted to each other.




Oxygen will become a liquid between 1.1 and 1.5 ATM and at 194 K.


It would definitely cover heat and thermo.  It would also cover the models of solids gases and liquids.  its hard to explain why these all exist at the same temperature and I think a model like this would help it.
