How Particle Model works

Particle Model is a unit of teaching within States of Matter, usually two to four weeks of lessons with one assessment point.

Worked examples

Worked example 1

Apply Particle Model in a routine context.

  1. Read the problem and name what Particle Model is being used for.
  2. Set out the method exactly as modelled in the lesson.
  3. Complete the calculation or reasoning step by step.
  4. Check the answer against an estimate or the original condition.
Worked example 2

Apply Particle Model in a multi-step context.

  1. Read the problem and name what Particle Model is being used for.
  2. Set out the method exactly as modelled in the lesson.
  3. Complete the calculation or reasoning step by step.
  4. Check the answer against an estimate or the original condition.
Worked example 3

Apply Particle Model in a unfamiliar context.

  1. Read the problem and name what Particle Model is being used for.
  2. Set out the method exactly as modelled in the lesson.
  3. Complete the calculation or reasoning step by step.
  4. Check the answer against an estimate or the original condition.

Common mistakes

What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.

  • Learners over-generalise a special case of particle model to every situation.

    Correction: Present a deliberate non-example and ask why the rule fails.

  • Students treat particle model as a rule to memorise rather than a relationship to understand.

    Correction: Anchor the rule in a visual model first, then abstract it — the model is the explanation.
