Molecular Workbench Project - offers a "molecular simulation engine"—a set of tools that can be used to compute and visualize the motion of atoms and molecules. Five units draw on molecular models generated by the simulation engine to help students learn about kinetic energy, states of matter; aquatic solutions in and around cells; monomers and polymers; and protein shaping. Thirty-five activities include how hot air balloons work, how superballs are like atoms, what matter is made of, and "rainstorm in a bag."
