Attempt to explain gas behavior.

Science isn't about just observing how the universe behaves, it is about trying to explain it. What about atoms and molecules makes pressure go up when temperature goes up.

Try to answer these 4 questions using the Kinetic Molecular Theory Simulator. Rate your peers explanations and comment on them.

  1. What do atoms/molecules do to cause pressure?
  2. What is happening to the particles to make pressure go up when volume goes down?
  3. What is happening to the particles to make pressure go up when temperature goes up?
  4. Why do gases have mass?

Try to think on your own, don't just go look up the answer.
