Today in Block class we talked about molecules. For a visual aid we used toothpicks and marshmallows for a representation of the different molecules and how they are connected. Does one person at the table that did not know what they were doing at all every 10 seconds he would ask me for help and have me tell him what he was supposed to do instead of trying into listening figure it out himself. After we got all that done we worked on trying to make a racing hovercraft is very confusing for just about everyone because the instructions weren't entirely clear on some of the very important parts no one finished their hovercraft because it was so confusing but next week we shall finish it. But overall it was very enjoyable everyone had fun and everyone got to see there friends.
A molecule is an electrically neutral group of two or more Atoms held together by covalent chemical bonds. Molecules are distinguished from ions by their electrical charge. However, in quantum physics, organic chemistry, and biochemistry the term molecule is often use less strictly, also being applied to polyatomic ions.
Using marshmallows for such an activity is certainly a very delicious idea. :)
