After completing this stimulation I learned that the more kinetic energy a molecule has, the greater its temperature will be and the more it will move. In a solid the molecules move slowly and stay close together, they have less kinetic energy than in a liquid and a gas. In a liquid, the molecules move faster than in a solid, but slower than in a liquid and have more space to move than in a solid state. In a gas, the molecules move faster and more freely than in a solid or liquid state, meaning they have more kinetic energy. During the stimulation, I noticed that the greatest temperatures were always gasses and the coolest were always solids. Using the evidence I gathered in the stimulation I determined that the more kinetic energy a
