Interactive GCSE Physics simulation exploring internal energy through the relationship between kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE).
Students can watch how energy transfers between kinetic and potential stores as particles move, while the total internal energy remains constant. The animation links the particle model to changing energy bars and a live graph, helping students visualise a concept that can otherwise feel quite abstract.
The simulation includes controls for pausing, slowing the motion, zooming and resetting, making it useful for teacher demonstration, whole-class discussion or independent student exploration.
Useful for:
- GCSE Physics and Combined Science
- Internal energy and the particle model
- Kinetic and potential energy stores
- Energy transfers
- Classroom demonstrations and revision
