Learning Targets
- I can illustrate that matter is made up of particles that are too small to be seen. #dok2

Big Ideas
- All matter is composed of tiny particles that are often too small to be seen directly.
- Even when we cannot see something, it still takes up space and has physical properties that can be observed.
Essential Questions
- How do we know that matter is made up of particles too small to see?
- What evidence shows that invisible particles make up substances such as air?
- Why does a balloon get bigger when it is filled with air if the particles can't be seen?
- How can we represent or model things that are too small to see?
- What are some examples of matter that we can't see directly, and how do we know they exist?
