Sugar and Salt Solutions by PhET

This simulation will allow students to see what happens when sugar and salt are added to water. Students can pour in sugar, shake in salt, and evaporate water to see the effects on concentration and conductivity. They can also zoom in to see how different sugar and salt compounds dissolve and zoom in again to explore the role of water.
