Particle Theory of Matter
Student Activities: Part 1
1. Copy down the information below into your book:
"The Particle Theory of Matter is a scientific model.
A scientific model is a way of illustrating ideas, objects and processes so they’re easier to understand. Scientists use models to explain things we can’t see without advanced equipment. One of these things is an individual atom.
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. It is a general name given to all the things physically around us. Matter includes things so tiny you can’t see them with your eyes"
2. Watch the 2 videos below. Summarise the information from "the 2,400 year search for the atom" into 2 paragraphs of notes.
