Instructional Ideas
- Test the class' understanding of phase changes and kinetic energy by having them respond to the questions in the About tab
- Challenge more advanced learners to infer what type of material is present in the barrier between the two substances
Classroom Considerations
- Students should have a basic understanding of the motion of the particles in and properties of solids and liquids
Pros
- Subtle shading makes the kinetic energy of individual particles apparent throughout the interactive
- The resource is versatile enough for use in both chemistry and physics classrooms
Cons
- None
