This activity points out that lowering the dimension of space from 3D to 2D changes the speed distribution and even more markedly the energy distribution that a simulation calculates for a monatomic ideal gas. This activity explores kinetic energy distributions of gases in 1D, 2D, and 3D. The accompanying simulation can be found here: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/gas-properties
