1. Use your mouse to adjust the temperature and observe what happens. What effect does increasing the temperature have on the average kinetic energy? What about decreasing the temperature?
2. What effect does changing the temperature have on the molecules sealed in the container?

5. Write two or three sentences summarizing what you observed on this site.
6. Sketch a graph showing the relationship you observed between temperature and velocity as well as mass and velocity.(You can use a computer program to draw or you can draw by hand after printing this out to turn it in)
