We considered how to account for pressure, drinking from straws, the effect of temperature on pressure, and other things in terms of a basic particle model of gas. The simulations that we saw today are linked on the Chapter 13 web page. The goal is to help you conceive of particle explanations for phenomena involving matter. Over the next weeks we will use particle models to account for gases, liquids, and solids. Later in the year we will deal with electric conductors and insulators and finally with atomic nuclei. Particle models for matter are at the heart of all these systems, but our models have to have slightly different properties, as we will see, in order to make sense of all that we will observe.
