Science: Atoms and their parts
Christian Kids Explore Chemistry
There are many ways to model atoms. We’re going to do the cookie models on page 67. Basically you bake a plain cookie and use 3 different candies (M&M’s suggested) to add protons, neutrons, and electrons.
On a side note: My favorite library book so far for explaining chemistry to kids is Basher Science: Chemistry: Getting a Big Reaction
