A collection of experiments, projects, and articles that will help students understand particle collision and mass, kinetic energy, magnetic field, the Large Hadron Collider, and detection of the Higgs particle.

This simulation explores the relationship between particle kinetic energies during particle collisions.

This simulation explores the relationship between the temperature of a gas, the motion of the particles in the gas and the changes in the kinetic energies of particles during collisions.

This simulation shows conduction of thermal energy within and between solids, based on the kinetic energy of particles, and collisions between neighboring particles.

Join a group of middle-school students on a visit to a laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where they experiment with "mystery mud" and learn about the relationships between magnetism, particle motion, and changes in...

A college textbook section that explores the kinetic theory. Learn how the kinetic theory relates to ideal gas law and thermal energy. Section includes problems and questions for the students to answer to ensure understanding. Book can...

This simulation shows conduction of thermal energy within and between solids, based on the kinetic energy of particles, and collisions between neighboring particles.

This tutorial helps students understand the Kinetic Theory, which explains the effects of temperature and pressure on matter as it goes through phase changes.
