Chemistry is uniquely difficult because it operates simultaneously across three levels. Students often struggle not because they can’t understand any one level, but because they can’t connect all three. They might read a graph (symbolic) without linking it to what particles are doing (microscopic) or what they’d see in a lab (macroscopic). To link all three levels help them to develop a deeper understanding.
