Arrangement
of Particles
Accurately
demonstrates the
arrangement of
particles in solids,
liquids, and gases
using appropriate
visual
representations.
Partially
demonstrates the
arrangement of
particles in solids,
liquids, and gases
using visual
representations, but
with some
inaccuracies.
Inaccurately
demonstrates the
arrangement of
particles in solids,
liquids, and gases or
does not use visual
representations.
Movement of
Particles
Clearly illustrates the
movement of particles
in solids, liquids, and
gases, including the
vibrations, sliding, and
free motion, using
appropriate examples.
Presents some
understanding of the
movement of
particles in solids,
liquids, and gases,
but lacks clarity or
does not include all
relevant examples.
Does not
demonstrate a clear
understanding of the
movement of
particles in solids,
liquids, and gases or
does not provide
examples.
Closeness of
Particles
Effectively shows the
closeness of particles
in solids, liquids, and
gases, distinguishing
between tightly
packed particles in
solids, loosely packed
particles in liquids,
and widely spaced
particles in gases.
Partially
demonstrates the
closeness of
particles in solids,
liquids, and gases,
but does not clearly
distinguish between
the different levels
of closeness.
Does not accurately
demonstrate the
closeness of
particles in solids,
liquids, and gases or
fails to distinguish
between the
different levels of
closene
