Preview - Pnom - Particulate Nature Of Matter

Exploration 2 - Procedure

  1. Press SETUP, and then GO/PAUSE to run the model.
  2. You can use the attractive and repulsive force graph on the right side of the model to change the way the particles interact with one another.
  3. Set the MOUSE INTERACTION drop down menu to "add green particles" add some more green particles to the view.
  4. To change the intermolecular forces between particles, click the DRAW GRAPH button and then draw a new graph by clicking and dragging in the graph side of the view.
  5. Experiment with different graphs to see how particles behave.
  6. When you've found a graph that you like, save your model with the SAVE button.
