  States of matter simulation

  See what solids, liquids and gases are doing at the level of particles.

  • Junior High · Senior High
  • 15 min
  • High data
  • Internet needed
  • Larger screen is easier

  Why Lovia recommends this: Particles cannot be seen in a real classroom; a simulation is the only way to watch them behave.

  What to do: Predict what heating will do before you press heat. Then check whether you were right.
