Science 8 Chemistry Unit Big Idea:
The behaviour of matter can be explained by the kinetic molecular theory and atomic theory. 
​By the end of this unit you will come to understand: 
1. Kinetic Molecular Theory explains how particles move in different states
2. Atomic Theory provides evidence of the existence of atoms and molecules
       Models can be used to represent:
               the arrangement and motion of particles in different phases
               the arrangement of and forces that bind protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom
