Pressure and Temperature

This 3D e-scenario allows students to explore the relationship between temperature, gas pressure and molecular collision rate by interacting directly with a volume of gas as it is heated.

As the temperature rises, the student can monitor the temperature, pressure and collision rate with the walls of the container. The 3D visualisation makes the connection between molecular motion, collision rate and pressure immediately apparent.

The e-scenario includes exercises in which students investigate and establish the relationships for themselves through observation and measurement.

Finally, a closely related GCSE examination question is examined, allowing students to apply what they have discovered in the e-scenario to an examination situation.

The package is supplied as a PowerPoint presentation containing the teaching material and a link to the online e-scenario. The e-scenario runs in any WebGL-compatible browser, including Edge, Firefox and Safari.
