DIffusion and Molecular Mass

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This DIffusion and Molecular Mass interactive also includes:

Does molecular mass affect the rate of diffusion? The simulation allows scholars to experiment with diffusion while varying the molecular mass and temperature. The timer automatically stops when a certain point is reached, making it easy to compare results.

Instructional Ideas
  • Discuss different molecules that interact this way based on their sizes
  • Use this as an introduction to moles
Classroom Considerations
  • Builds off previous simulations on molecular diffusion and temperature
Pros
  • Includes the option to trace the movement of one molecule
  • Works well as a large group demonstration, small groups in a computer lab, or even as homework in a flipped classroom
Cons
  • None
