Abstract
We describe an educational simulation of some effects within the gas of hard spheres. The focus of the presented simulation is on the comprehension of random character of the velocity of molecules in the gas and of the energy at fixed temperature. It allows to point out the connection between the temperature, the energy, and the velocity of the molecules.
