We realized the animations we developed to show what was going on with the molecules were limited. We aren't professional animators and our time was limited. But there's some things we're thinking about that are challenging to show.
1. For example, we know hotter things become colder. We know energy is transferred.
2. When hot things are near cold things, they "settle" onto a temperature in between them, like an average almost.
3. We know collisions are happening in a substance and between substances that are near each other.
So Mrs. Brinza did some research, and there is an app that can truly show what so many of the students have figured out with their investigation ideas. We are noticing things about kinetic energy, temperature, what happens in a collision between particles and what happens when more particles are added to as substance. Check back to see what we make sense of next week when we run the simulator again!!!
