Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to distinguish between the characteristic properties (e.g., shape, volume, compressibility) of solids, liquids, and gases by observing their behavior in the virtual environment.
Students will be able to demonstrate the process of phase transitions (e.g., melting, boiling, freezing) by manipulating virtual conditions such as temperature.
Students will be able to predict the resulting state of a substance when subjected to changes in temperature or pressure based on their interactions with the simulation.
