MSM Unit 1, Lesson 6: Decoding & Modifying the model

Posted June 7, 2024 by bperret

In this lesson students will be modifying the model of the molecular beam experiment to make a collision between different molecules.  This time we will use hydrogen peroxide or H2O2  molecules instead of water molecules. Students will decode the model and make changes to the model‘s setup and collision code to model the collision and reaction. They will test the accuracy of the model by checking to see if the proper number and ratio of products were produced.
