Junior High School Pupils' Understanding of the Particulate Nature of Matter: An Interview Study

Novick, Shimshon; Nussbaum, Joseph

Science Education, 62, 3, 273-81, Jul-Sep 78

A sample of eighth grade Israeli pupils was interviewed to assess their understanding of some aspects of the particle model of matter. Results show that a significant position of the sample failed to internalize important aspects of the model. Reinforcement of these aspects in pupils' ongoing learning is recommended. (HM)
