In the Molecules reader, fundamental chemistry concepts are explained through easily understood text and colorful, fun illustrations. Children discover that atoms and molecules make up everything we see, touch, taste, and smell. Atoms are like tiny building blocks and have linking electrons that can make molecules by forming bonds.
