Models of matter: atoms to living systems
Explore atomic identity, bonding, gases, water balance and photosynthesis through five connected teaching models.
What you will practise
- Connect particle models to observable changes.
- Make a prediction and vary one control at a time.
- Explain a result and identify a model limitation.
An activity is complete when its stated investigation and practice requirements are met. A page open alone does not complete it. This is practice progress, not a certificate of mastery.
