A Teaching Tool for Molecular Kinetics
Imai, Izumi; Kamata, Masahiro; Miura, Naosuke
Physics Education, v38 n3 p254-258 May 2003
Kinetic models of a gas can be hard for students to understand. Typical tools do not display events at the microscopic level, yet computer simulations of the molecules lack a hands-on aspect. Here a new tool is described that combines the squeezing of a syringe with a computer simulation, and it is shown that this has worked well in class for both teachers and students. (Contains 10 figures and 1 footnote.)
