Atoms and Molecules

I guess if you homeschool, doing school during the summer isn’t really considered “summer school”. I prefer to think of it as “extra credit”. After all, we pretty much do school all year round, we just don’t do an actual curriculum all year round.

This is a Science Curriculium I bought a few years back, but never actually started until this past school year…and then we just didn’t get it finished, because we were just trying to do too much all at once. But the boys love these books. We have one on Biology as well. They are full of great information as well as experiments. Not to mention cute and colorful pictures.
Today Zion decided to learn some more about Atoms and Molecules. Materials needed were the book, marshmellows (large or small), and toothpicks.

Ta-da!! A Molecule!

Book info…Aren’t the little molecules cute?

Another Molecule.


It looks like the one in the book.

This is what happened when he just decided to make a molecule on his own, with no rules.

After he built them all, he drew pictures of the different ones he had made, in his workbook.

So what do you do with all those marshmellows after you are finished making Molecules??

You eat them, of course.

ok, so they didn’t eat ALL the marshmellows, but they did eat a couple. The rest we just threw away.

Until next time!! Happy Molecule Making.
