Phase Change Lab
Phase Changes Lab simulation allows a learner to explore the relationship between temperature, the phase of matter (solid, liquid, and gas), particle behavior, and their intermolecular forces. Learners can observe the result of added heat on water molecules, going from a rigid, solid structure, to a liquid, to a gas. Time and temperatures are provided on the simulation for easy data collection and graphing.
Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. For a more guided experience, The Physics Classroom has prepared an activity for use with this Interactive and encourages teachers to use it with their classes.
Learners and Instructors may also be interested in viewing the accompanying Notes page. Technical information, teaching suggestions, and related resources that complement this Interactive are provided on the Notes page. View Notes.
NEWOur Phase Change Lab simulation is now available with a Concept Checker. Do the simulation. Then follow it up with the Phase Changes Concept Checker.
