Phet Simulation: Building Molecules

This video tutorial guides users through the Phet simulation for building molecules. It covers initial setup, exploring element buckets, building molecules, demonstrating chemical bonding, viewing 3D models, and understanding double bonds. The tutorial also explains how to complete collections, reset and separate atoms, and explore additional features like multiple and playground. Users are instructed to take screenshots of completed collections for their assignments.

What is the first step you should take when starting the Phet simulation?

• Start with 'Collection 2'

• Select 'Single' mode

• Click on 'Playground'

• Select 'Multiple' mode

Where can you find the atoms needed to build molecules in the Phet simulation?

• In the 'Next Collection' section

• In the 'Multiple' mode

• In the element buckets

• In the 'Playground' section

How do you know how many atoms of each element are needed to build a molecule?

• By the number next to the element symbol

• By the color of the atoms

• By the size of the atoms

• By the position of the atoms in the bucket

What must you do to show that atoms are chemically bonded in the simulation?

• Select 'Multiple' mode

• Click on the 'Bond' button

• Drag and drop them on top of each other

• Place them side by side

What happens when you complete the first collection in the Phet simulation?

• A yellow button appears for the next collection

• The simulation ends

• You receive a score

• The atoms reset automatically

How can you reset the entire simulation?

• By clicking the 'Reset' button

• By completing all collections

• By dragging atoms back to the bucket

• By selecting 'Playground'

What is the purpose of the 'Playground' mode in the Phet simulation?

• To build your own atoms or molecules

• To reset the simulation

• To view completed molecules

• To complete the assignment

What should you do after completing all molecules in a collection?

• Start a new simulation

• Take a screenshot and upload it

• Move to the next collection without saving

• Reset the simulation

What is not required for the assignment but is available for exploration?

• Taking screenshots

• Building molecules in 'Single' mode

• Completing 'Collection 1'

• Exploring 'Multiple' mode

What is the final step to complete the assignment in the Phet simulation?

• Complete the 'Playground' mode

• Submit a written report

• Upload screenshots of both collections

• Finish all optional features
