Description
This is a two-day activity where students begin by completing a matrix of 14 synthetic fabrics and materials that we use in our everyday lives. They research to find what each is made of and what the material is used for. Then on the second day they use the included chart to select one of the synthetic hydrocarbon molecules to build in 3-D. Following the included instructions they will build the model using tiny colored marshmallows and toothpicks to represent the bonds. Finally they glue everything on construction paper and research to identify who created the hydrocarbon, what year it was created, and how it impacts society.
