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 the                              quarks and leptons in protons, neutrons, and electrons
       Protons, neutrons and quarks are held together in the nucleus by strong nuclear forces
       Electrons (a type of lepton) are held at a distance from the nucleus through electromagnetism
