ABOUT THIS GAME
This classification activity helps students understand particle movement in different materials. Students categorize substances based on whether their particles can move freely or stay in place. The activity builds awareness of molecular motion in matter. Through sorting and discussion, students learn to recognize patterns in particle behavior. The exercise connects microscopic particle movement to observable material properties.
