This document provides instructions for a science activity where students will build models of elements and compounds by cutting out and coloring circles representing atoms. The activity involves constructing 6 different models: 3 elements made of different numbers of the same atom, 2 compounds made of different numbers of 2 atom types, and a compound made of 4 different atom types. The goal is to help students learn about elements, compounds, and building molecules from chemical formulas.
