I learned that:
The smallest particle in matter are atoms.
All matter is made up of an atom. Elements are made up of one kind of atom. Compound are made up of two or more elements
A compound is 2 elements combined. An example is water. Water has 2 Hydrogen elements and 1 Oxygen element.
That led us to a task that used creative thinking: creating a new superhero whose character and powers are based on an element in the periodic table of elements. We’re looking forward to sharing our superheroes and villains next week!
