Atoms vs. Molecules Re-Teach Learning Activity (Section 1)

For this quick learning activity you will learn the difference between atom and molecule. 

Watch the video below until 2:46. 

Next look at this model below. It is called a ball and stick model.

This is an example of 1 molecule with 5 atoms.

The balls represent the atoms, and the sticks represent the bonds between the atoms. They are “stuck” together. 


INSTRUCTIONS: 

To complete this learning activity you will draw 2 molecules with 5 atoms each.

Draw an arrow to the parts representing atoms and label them “atom”.

Draw an arrow to the parts representing the bonds and label them “bonds”
