Newton’s Cradle: Molecule Collisions and Energy Transfer
by Michael Angelo De La Cruz
Understanding and studying energy transfer produced by molecules collisions can be difficult and abstract for them. To make it easier for them to visualize, creating a Newton's Cradle will help them visualize and understand better how the molecule collisions transfer energy.
