Particle Model for the Solid, Liquid and Gas States

This progression toolkit develops understanding of the key concept of particle model for the solid, liquid and gas states, as part of a topic on substances and mixtures. This key concept helps to build broader understanding about particles and structure, which is one of the big ideas of science education at ages 11...

What is an atom made of? Why do ice cubes float in water? What is a buckyball? The visually stimulating 'Sci-Hi' books take learning science core curriculum to a whole new exciting level.

Particle Physics

The Particle Physics Project was made possible by funding from the Institute of Physics and support from the Centre for Science Education at the Open University. The project devised a pack of resources to help teachers and learners to engage with one of the most...

An A-Level text which covers the Particle Physics options for the NEAB, O&C and London syllabuses, and aims to present a lively approach in addressing the needs of both weaker and stronger candidates.

Some questions relating to the introduction of particle physics into post-GCSE courses are considered. A new project that is producing teacher and student materials to support teaching particle physics at this level is described.

Particle Physics: a Physics Kit

This resource, produced by SEPNet and Queen Mary University of London, uses Lego to represent the building blocks of matter. Different colour Lego bricks are assigned to different quarks and leptons. The quarks can be put together to make hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. The blocks can also be used to show...

Using LEGO® blocks to create a uniquely visual and clear depiction of the way our universe is put together. This is the perfect introduction to the enigmatic and fascinating world of Quantum...

Particle Theory *suitable for home teaching*

These downloadable videos and animations are part of the multimedia package Stuff and Substance, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). They can be used to introduce a particle model to explain why a substance can exist in both the solid and liquid...

This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.
