Abstract

Since concepts involving invisible, intangible particles are especially difficult for junior high students to understand, how does a student know that atoms, molecules, electrons, and ions really exist? Are these particles just the figment of someone's imagination?

I decided some years ago that students needed more than an explanation of a concept involving atomic particles. Pictures are helpful to serve as an extension of a verbal teaching method.
