| Time to allocate (mins) | 15 |
| Outcome | Understand the basic structure of molecules |
| Resources | Jelly tots or similar sorted into three colours Toothpicks (or spaghetti) Bowl |
| Instructions | 1. Give each different atom a colour. Hydrogen = red; Oxygen = yellow and Carbon = green. 2. Make a water molecule (H2O) - this means that two hydrogen atoms are joined to one oxygen atom to make water. Join two red sweets to one yellow sweet with toothpicks. 3. Make a carbon dioxide molecule (CO2) - this means two oxygen atoms are joined to one carbon atom. So, join two yellow sweet to one green sweet with toothpicks 4. Cubs can eat their molecules when done |
