The Age of the Atom

Let me welcome you to the next age. Let me introduce you to a revolutionary new building material that is very small. Atoms have made up everything, but our understanding of them could help create a new age of machines, "The Age of the Atom."

Orbital theory is a powerful tool that can be used to create tiny machines. What was once water pollution can now be turned into batteries. Sodium Fluoride could be very useful for storing energy collected from plants passed through small carbon nano-tubes. To power smaller more complex machines.

Science Challenge:

Atomic Lego's
Design building blocks to simulate Atoms and explain atomic theory and orbital theory.
