Children's Understanding of Substances, Part 2: Explaining Chemical Change.
Johnson, Philip
International Journal of Science Education, v24 n10 p1037-54 Oct 2002
Focuses on the idea of chemical change and reports data from a study exploring the development of the concept of substance in children aged 11-14. Examines the use of the idea of elements, compounds, and bonding between atoms to explain chemical change and the intersection of these ideas with "basic" particle ideas. (Contains 21 references.)
