    This document discusses atoms and molecules at the microscopic level. It begins by defining atoms as the building blocks of all matter and explains that microscopes are used to view very tiny objects by making them appear larger. It then uses a cutting paper exercise to demonstrate just how small atoms are, showing that they are smaller than 0.00013 microns. The document states there are around 8 octillion (8×1027) atoms in the human body. It defines molecules as objects made up of connected atoms and provides examples of molecular structures like water, air, sugar, salt, plastic, protein, and DNA. It concludes by noting molecules can be found in solids, liquids, or gases and their movement depends on their state of

    What are Atoms?

    Atoms are very tiny particles that form


    the building blocks for all matter
    What Does a Microscope Do?

    • A microscope is used to look at very tiny


    objects by making them appear larger
    • It is sort of like a telescope or binoculars
    Just What Size Is an Atom?

    Let’s do a little exercise!!


    What you’ll need
    • A strip of paper
    • A pair of scissors

    What to do
    • Take your strip of paper and cut it into equal halves
    • Cut one of the remaining pieces of paper into equal
    halves
    • Repeat!

    Molecules are very small objects that


    are made up of connected atoms
    What Do Molecules Look Like?

    Molecules can take on all kinds


    of different shapes and sizes
