This is a simulation of Brownian motion (named for Robert Brown, but explained in some detail by Albert Einstein). Brownian motion is the apparently random motion of something like a dust particle in the air, driven by collisions with air molecules.

Online labs provide your students with the possibility to conduct scientific experiments in an online environment. Remotely-operated labs (remote labs) offer an opportunity to experiment with real equipment from remote locations. Virtual labs simulate the scientific equipment. Data sets present data from already performed lab experiments. Please use the filters on the right to find appropriate online labs for your class. Labs can be combined with dedicated Apps to create Inquiry Learning Spaces (ILSs).
If you are looking for online labs especially suitable for the curricula of Benin, Kenya or Nigeria, please visit our Collections page.

This lab allows students to watch different types of molecules form a solid, liquid, or gas.
Heat, cool and compress atoms and molecules and watch as they change between solid, liquid and gas phases.Sample learning goals:
This lab helps to better understand the following phenomena:Interaction PotentialAtomic BondingVan der Waals Force
Learn how friction causes a material to heat up and melt. Rub two objects together and they heat up. When one reaches the melting temperature, particles break free as the material melts away. Primary aims of the labDescribe a model for friction a molecular level.
In this simulation, you can look at the difference between a constant temperature (isothermal) process and an adiabatic process. The paths look somewhat similar on the P-V diagram, but you should notice clear differences.
In this lab, you can observe Diffusion-limited aggregation. DLA is a process in which particles of matter come together (aggregate) while they randomly move (diffuse) through a medium that provides some sort of resistive (limiting) force.
This simulation shows a bucket full of water. The bucket has a hole in its right side - you can use the slider to change the location of the hole. Where do you think the hole should be placed so that the water shoots out farthest horizontally from the base of the bucket?
Why does compressing a gas often increase the temperature, while allowing the volume to expand often leads to cooling? This simulation demonstrates the process, looking at a single atom in a cylinder.
