Check For Understanding:
Describe the distance and speed of water molecules when they are in liquid water.
Water Nanoscale Model
Follow the directions to draw on your model.
Step 1: Choose any of the 12 landscapes.
Step 2: Check that the Wind (at the bottom) is OFF and the Water Molecules (in the top right corner) is ON.
Step 3: Observe the movement of the water molecules.
Pink molecules represent water molecules as water vapor
Blue molecules represent water molecules as liquid water.
Step 4: When you get the notice “this run has ended” Press ANALYZE in the top left corner of the simulation.

TASK 1: Select a water molecule that has formed part of a raindrop (blue). Observe the path of the molecule as you use the slider to scroll back and forth in time. Pay close attention to what happens as the molecules condense to form raindrops.

Question 8
8.
What happens at the nanoscale when water vapor condenses into liquid water?
TASK 2: Find a place where a lot of liquid water is forming in the atmosphere. Use the Atmosphere Window to zoom in on the molecules and see what happens when water vapor turns to liquid water.
Observe what is happening at the nanoscale (molecules) when water vapor condenses into liquid water to (hint: use the atmosphere window to zoom in and see what happens with the molecules).
