PhET simulations offer several features that make them particularly useful for studying catalysis:
Interactive Design: Users can manipulate variables in real-time, such as temperature, concentration, and the presence of a catalyst. Visualization: Complex molecular interactions and energy diagrams can be visualized, making abstract concepts more concrete. Accessibility: These tools are freely available online, ensuring wide accessibility. They are also designed to be intuitive, requiring minimal technical expertise to use. Educational Resources: Many simulations come with accompanying lesson plans, activities, and assessments, making them ideal for classroom settings.
