Directions:
- 1. Go through each molecule and put together the
correct number of atoms to create the molecule. http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/build-a-molecule
- go through at least three collections.
- After each collection draw a picture of the
molecule created.
- 2. Choose one molecule from each collection and
do some research to find what that molecule is a part of.
- 3. Once the three collections are finished go to
the Large Molecules tab and create three different molecules that you remember
putting together in the previous collections
- 4. The final step to the project, explain one of
the molecules you created on your own and what atoms they contain.
- 5. When each of the classmates presents their
findings, write down at least three different molecules that you didn’t create.
