University of Frostburg: How Nonpolar Molecules Dissolve
This site from the University of Frostburg provides an explanation of the process by which nonpolar molecules dissolve in water.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Micelles
Select an oil or water environment for molecules and observe how they are affected by interactions with their environment and each other.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Protein Folding
Generate all polar, all nonpolar, or random proteins and observe how the protein folds in response to these molecular properties. Explore how the potential energy of the system changes over time to draw conclusions about how proteins...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Polar and Nonpolar Interface
Observe how molecules with hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions move in a mixture of oil and water, and pay attention to changes in potential energy over time. Move and rotate the molecules to see how they interact with their surrounding...
