🔬 Part 1: Understanding Atoms and Brownian Motion

1. What are atoms?

Tiny building blocks that make everything

Large rocks in space

Only found in water

2. How do atoms move?

They don't move at all

They move in straight lines only

They jiggle and bump into each other randomly

3. What is Brownian Motion?

When large objects fall down

When tiny particles move randomly because atoms bump them

When water becomes ice

4. Fill in the blanks:

Atoms are very _____________ and they _____________ all the time. We can't see atoms, but we can see their _____________ on other tiny particles.

✏️ Part 2: Drawing and Observations

5. Draw atoms moving in a liquid. Show at least 6 atoms and use arrows to show how they move.

6. Draw what you observed during our pepper and water experiment. Show the pepper particles and explain what made them move.

7. Complete these sentences about what you learned:

Brownian Motion is when _________________________________

We saw particles move because ____________________________

Atoms are like _______________________________________ because they are the building blocks of everything.

🤔 Part 3: Think Like a Scientist

8. What do you think would happen to atom movement if we heated up the water? Explain your thinking.

9. Where else might you see Brownian Motion happening in everyday life? Give one example and explain.

10. Circle the scientific words you used today:

Atom

Molecule

Brownian Motion

Particles

Random movement

Jiggle
