This quick question page 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 find short, focused questions designed to help you:

• Recall the key ideas of the particle model

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

• Link particle behaviour to the observable properties of different states of matter

Use this to test your understanding quickly and effectively. Answers are provided at the back so you can check your progress and build confidence in explaining how the particle model describes the behaviour of matter.
