Question

Describe how the behavior of the bees can be used to model the states of matter. Include the behavior and spacing of particles in each state of matter in your answer. ​

Answer 1

Bumble bees in the honeycomb are arranged in an orderly pattern and do not move about freely. Thiscould be used to model the particles in the solid state. The mature bees that roam freely throughoutthe hive are able to move round but will still come in contact with each other which would represent theliquid state. The bees that leave the hive and roam freely outside and rarely come into contact witheach other would represent the gas state.
