Why am I here? Why do I care?

• Understand that science knowledge changes over time

• Identify that there are tiny particles inside of an atom and these different particles explain why elements are different and why/how they react.

Today, we are learning about how we have come to know what an atom is and what goes on inside them.

This is important for us to know so that we can:

1. Glue the worksheet into your books.

2. Complete the two questions.
