Building Molecules
By Grade 6
Embedded Files
In our first Topic, we learned that matter can be broken down into molecules, and molecules into atoms. Specific combinations of atoms form certain molecules. The molecule made depends on the types of atoms (elements) as well as the number of atoms.
Our project objective was to build a model which represented a chosen molecule using household materials. We hope you enjoy our creations!
