Chemical Bonds.
🎯 Your mission
Predict it first. Then prove yourself right (or wrong).
⚡ The twist
Color changes mean atoms are rearranging — even if you can't see them.
Mind = Blown
🧪 If you could remove all the empty space from atoms, the entire human race would fit in a sugar cube.
Make a hypothesis first
Before you mix: what color do you think it'll turn?
What You'll Learn
A food chain shows how energy passes from one organism to another. Producers like plants capture energy from the sun, herbivores eat the plants, and carnivores eat the herbivores.

Steps
Read about Chemical Bonds and write down three key facts.
Compare the skeletal structures of a bird wing, human arm, and whale flipper using diagrams. Identify homologous bones and write what this tells us about common ancestry.
Compare the before and after states.
Write your conclusion: did the results match your hypothesis? What would you change next time?
