Instructional Ideas

• View the tutorial as a class; provide pupils with a set of questions to answer to check for understanding

Classroom Considerations

• Requires each user to create a free CK-12 account to access resources
• Expects a fundamental understanding of the different states of matter

Pros

• Provides suggestions for additional simulations to continue study
• Visuals emphasize the molecular movement of each state of matter

Cons

• None
