The authors present an inquiry lesson that encourages students to form their own model for an atom, molecule and mixture. I have used a similar lesson with my students to introduce the differences between elements and compounds and I have done lessons where students generated their own models, but I had not thought to combine them before like this. This could even be extended later to encourage students to develop a model for the Law of Conservation of Matter through developing chemical equations. Nice lesson idea for middle and high school!
