The kids are learning about atoms and molecules in their Chemistry book, who knew molecules could be so much fun! I guess marsmallows can make anything fun.
We started out making "no rules" molecules. Here is Julia's friend, Mr. Molecule.
Then we got serious and made some real molecule shapes, but a methane molecule sure can make a boy smile. He called it a "toot" molecule (or maybe he used the other word for that.)
I love seeing them so intent and interested in their work. I imagine that they'll remember this when they are in 10th grade Chemistry.

these home school projects are so cool... I wish some of these projects had been put to use in some of my classes. Maybe then I would have remembered the molecules in Chemistry class :D
I am learning more now than I ever did at school!
that looks like it was so much fun
did they eat their projects when they were done?
Why wait until you're done? There was much marshmallow eating throughout the lesson.
