Creative STEM modelling activity in Stage 1 Chemistry this week!

Stage 1 Chemistry students engaged in a creative STEM modelling activity this week. They learned how to write the electron configurations of atoms of the first 38 elements of the Periodic Table using plastic shot glasses as orbitals, coloured differently for each type of sub-shell, and M&Ms as electrons. Naturally the M&Ms did not last beyond recess!
