About this printable

This printable is a single-page grid of small cards (designed to be cut out) that summarise the particle model: states (solid, liquid, gas, plasma), phase changes (melting, freezing, vaporisation, condensation) and related concepts (temperature, pressure, density, diffusion, kinetic/potential energy, spacing, model limitation). Each card pairs a simple particle diagram with 2–4 concise bullet points or a short explanatory sentence and icons to show energy flow for phase changes. Use it as a visual reference, sorting/matching activity or quick reference for students to use during practicals.
