So I made these giant cookies and let them choose among the first 6 elements in the periodic table. I wasn't about to let them make mercury or gold since we were using M&Ms for the protons, electrons, and neutrons.
Here are Deborah's. The top one is Lithium and the bottom one is Carbon. Notice the nice shell configurations. The blues are electrons, the reds are protons, and the browns are neutrons.
And yes, they did taste delicious!

you are so cool!
I think I have a newly-found interest in studying chemistry! :)
You're such a good Mom! We're studying chemistry this year too, only we used skittles pressed into playdough circles for our atomic models. The candy got all moist and slimy and non-edible...so I provided fresh skittles for snacking afterward!
You must be using the book by Ridlon and Ridlon also?

Yep! I really like all of their books. I think they do a good job of organizing the topics and they have some great projects. And I like the Christian view of science best of all.
Xenon would have made a much tastier cookie. :)
