这里描述的是一个简短而简单的活动，我们称之为“玻尔兹曼游戏”，它可以在任何高中或大学化学教室或实验室中使用，以探索能量在真实化学系统中的分布方式，并作为讨论熵的概率性质的入口。所需要的只是大约30分钟，一些开放的空间，一些纸钱，以及一群会玩（或能很快学会的）“石头剪刀布”游戏的学生。在这种活动的背景下，讨论了概率、能量分布、微观状态、平衡、涨落、化学反应和熵之间的关系，熵是能量“分散”的量度。
Described here is a short, simple activity we call the "Boltzmann game" that can be used in any high school or college chemistry classroom or lab to explore the way energy is distributed in real chemical systems and as an entry into discussions of the probabilistic nature of entropy. All that is needed is about 30 minutes, some open space, some paper money, and a group of students who know how to play (or can be taught quickly) the game "rock–paper–scissors." The relationships among probability, energy distribution, microstates, equilibrium, fluctuation, chemical reaction, and entropy as a measure of the "dispersal" of energy are discussed in the context of this activity.
