Lesson 7 - Modeling State Changes


You should now be feeling more comfortable with how particles interact with one another. In particular, we've spent a lot of time experimenting with how particles in a gaseous state interact and how properties such as pressure and temperature emerge from those interactions. You've also been introduced to a model that shows how particles in a liquid state act differently than those same particles in a gaseous state. In this activity, we'll begin to theorize about how particles might shift between the liquid and gas state.
