This Micelles interactive also includes:
Micelles consist of an aggregate of molecules in a colloidal solution. The simulation presents two different ways the molecules assemble into micelles based on the polarity of the solution in which they are placed. Scholars can set the solvent and interact with the molecules for each trial.

Instructional Ideas
- Remind students why water is polar and oil is non-polar
Classroom Considerations
- Relies on prior knowledge of potential energy, polar, and non-polar molecules
- Best fits after teaching about micelles
Pros
- Displays a graph of the current potential energy throughout
- Requires very little class time
Cons
- None
