This States of Matter interactive also includes:
Water is the only molecule on Earth that can naturally exist in all three states of matter. The interactive simulation shows different molecules changing states of matter with the addition or removal of heat. Learners then see how manipulating the volume of a system affects pressure and temperature. Lastly, classes can relate potential energy to the distance between atoms.
