Model Simulation (Chemistry) – Molecules and Light

Topics

• Molecules
• Photons
• Absorption
• Light

Sample Learning Goals

• Explore how light interacts with molecules in our atmosphere
• Identify that absorption of light depends on the molecule and the type of light
• Relate the energy of the light to the resulting motion
• Identify that energy increases from microwave to ultraviolet
• Predict the motion of a molecule based on the type of light it absorbs
• Identify how the structure of a molecule affects how it interacts with light

Inclusive Features

• Alternative Input
• Sound and Sonification
• Interactive Description
• Pan and Zoom

We are adding features to make our simulations more inclusive to learners with diverse needs and within diverse environments. Find all sims with inclusive features.

System Requirements

HTML5 simulations can run on iPads, Chromebooks, PC, Mac, and Linux systems.
