T Brownian motion in gases is the proof of particles too small to see. The random motion of the large particle can only be explained by smaller particles hitting it. What is Brownian motion?

Smoke cells and microscopes if we have them. http://labs.minutelabs.io/Brownian-Motion/ Atomscope visual demo, but shows smaller particles. Throw a ball to a student. Why can you catch a ball? Because the motion is predictable. Is the large particle motion predictable?... Use dice to model Brownian motion
