Lesson Planet Curated

Inquiry in Action: Second Grade Chapter 6 – Atoms begins with young experimenters using Snap Cubes to model a larger object created from smaller parts. Then, investigators view an interactive video describing the chemical structure of six molecules. Using different-colored cubes to represent atoms, group members construct the molecules from the video while learning how the arrangement of atoms forms specific molecules.
