Digital file -Notes: Year 7 & 8 The particulate nature of matter

This booklet is based on the Science Programmes of Study: Key Stage 3, National Curriculum in England. It focuses on the particulate nature of matter and how the arrangement and movement of particles explain the properties of solids, liquids, and gases.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Understand the key ideas of the particle model

• Describe how particles are arranged and move in solids, liquids, and gases
  

• Compare the particle model for different states of matter

This booklet will help you develop a clear understanding of how the particle model explains the behaviour of matter, and how the differences between solids, liquids, and gases relate to their observable properties.
