If You Could See an Atom

This app is designed for classroom use and enables kids to share a fun experience while learning that the world is composed of atoms. You can also enjoy it as an animated science picture book.

Observing simulations in real-time, which demonstrate that air is composed of moving molecules, is the first step for kids to understand the world scientifically.

The field of view is adjustable on the screen, which features a gesture icon for easy control. A screen with a temperature bar can simulate changes in thermal conditions.

Teachers can use the supplementary "Problem" section at the end as a resource for simulation experiments. Students can discuss their predictions in advance and select the predicted results. Learning what happens when the average speed of molecular motion changes is fun. The actual image of the word "average" makes it easier to understand the various phenomena to which it applies.

Please note that these simulations are intended for beginners and do not accurately simulate molecular dynamics. The frequency of occurrence is exaggerated for rare types of molecules in the air.
