Students can explore molecules in a hands-on way with the Happy Atoms Complete Set. Using the set’s 50 atom models that represent 16 different elements (hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, and argon), students can assemble molecular models. The atoms stick together with magnets. Each atom’s rubbery arms have metal tips that snap onto magnetic bonding sites on the atom spheres. The instruction booklet provides six different experiments to guide them through building a variety of molecular models to give students a visual understanding of electrons, bonding, states of matter, and more. They can also read about the discovery of the atom and what exactly an atom is.
