Another science-related project from Marie Curie.
We worked on constructing a few chemical compounds. We learned that
most kinds of matter are made up of 2 or more
different kinds of atoms joined together in a molecule. For example, salt is a compound made from the elements sodium and chlorine. We used World Book's
Learning About Matter as a guide to construct chemical compounds for ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide, and ethyl alcohol.

I am glad that I found this book at the library. It really helped to demonstrate how individual atoms work
together to make chemical compounds.
