People, Places, and Particles: An Analogy for States of Matter
Help your students visualize the invisible! This worksheet uses a simple but powerful school-based analogy (students in a classroom vs. the canteen vs. outside) to help them understand the behavior of particles in solids, liquids, and gases. Students analyze images and environments to deduce arrangement, movement, and energy. A great hook for MYP Science or any middle school chemistry unit.
