Development of Interactive Modeling Programs for UG Exploration of Molecular Kinetics
In the introductory chemistry classroom, it is often a challenge for students to be able to imagine the behavior of molecules at the atomic level, making connections between a conceptual understanding and the mathematical models more difficult. The goal of this project is to develop and implement an interactive application incorporating augmented reality (AR) for tablet computers that will model kinetic molecular theory of particles. The application would allow students to set up simulations with control of variables to model particle movement, interactions, and collisions.
