This Gas Properties interactive also includes:
We can't see most gases and we can't see things at the molecular level — but that's about to change! A simulation shows pupils the activity of molecules in a gas. The simulation allows scholars to vary the volume, heat, and gravity in a box of gas. Then they measure temperature and pressure in order to understand the relationship between each variable.
