By watching this droll and delightful animation, physical scientists consider what happens when molecules collide. In this film, however, parodic people bump into each other, exchanging limbs in the process, just as molecules might trade individual atoms! Concepts covered include chemical equilibrium and reaction rate. Go with a flipped-classroom approach by having learners obtain a free website membership, watch the video at home, and write their answers to the Think questions as homework.
