Investigation

Plan a fair investigation with a clear question, variables, method, repeats and a safe stopping rule.

This extension applies that lens specifically to Solid-State Physics.

Solid-State Physics

Crystal symmetry, lattice vibrations and electron bands explain conductivity, heat capacity and material phases. Band gaps distinguish conductors, semiconductors and insulators.

Core checkpoint: A band diagram is an energy model, not a literal spatial path.
