Bill

Name was a participant in the Understanding Science Project.

He was interviewed twice in Y7

Bill's understanding of science concepts

Some examples of what Bill said in his interviews:

A cloud is a gas you can see

Electrons flowing through circuits come from batteries

Gas particles try to spread out and move apart

Making a link between particle identity and change of state

Particles in a solid could be seen with a microscope

Some particles are softer than others

Temperature is measuring the heat of something

There are particles in everything, though perhaps not chlorophyll
