Did you know that everything around us is made up of teeny tiny building blocks called atoms? Yep, even you and me! Now, imagine having your very own magic toolbox filled with colorful atoms that you can use to build amazing things. That’s what organic chemistry model kits are all about! With these kits, you can snap together atoms like puzzle pieces to create molecules, just like real chemists do. It’s like playing with LEGOs, but with science! So, put on your lab coat and let’s explore the fantastic world of atoms together!

Ever wondered how markers create those vibrant colors? Well, it’s a bit like a secret recipe! In our fun activity, we’ll use markers to color on fabric. Then, we’ll add a drop of rubbing alcohol and watch the main color spread into many colors as the ink separates. It’s like a mini science experiment right before your eyes! And guess what? You can take home your own tie-dye square as a special keepsake. So, grab your markers and let’s dive into the colorful world of science and art. Hurry, while supplies last!
