    Thermal physics and statistical mechanics guided inquiry resources
    (2013) Wheaton, Spencer
    Several Easy Java Simulation (EJS) applets have been designed and supplemented with guided inquiry worksheets to illustrate some of the fundamental ideas of Thermal Physics and Statistical Mechanics. These materials are ideally suited for use in guided inquiry tutorial sessions.
