Worksheet 3.1
Make a particle model
You will need: a rectangular box such as a shoe box, a piece of cardboard that fits the width
of the box to divide it into sections, six marbles.
Follow these steps:
Step 1
• Put the divider about halfway along the bottom of the box to decrease the space
for the marbles. Put the marbles in one section only. Shake the box in all directions,
but without lifting the box from the table.
• Observe the movement of the marbles.
• Observe the spaces between the marbles.
Step 2
• Put the divider close to one end of the box to decrease the space for the marbles even more.
This time the marbles must be as closely packed as possible. Shake the box in all directions,
but without lifting the box from the table.

Worksheet 3.3A
Compare melting in different solids
‘Melting point’ is the temperature at which a solid melts.
Different solids have different melting points.
Look at the bar chart, which shows the melting points of four solids.
