Atoms, Elements, and Molecule...oh my!

We talked about what atoms are and how they bond with each other to make molecules and then the kids made models of specific molecules out of candy.

Atoms: building blocks of everything we can touch. Thousands, no, millions, no, billions, no, trillions, can fit on a period; like the one at the end of this sentence.
Each atom has a specific amount of bonds it wants to make with other atoms to form a molecule.
oxygen - 2 bonds
hydrogen-1 bond
complete molecule - H2O - water
