Thames & Kosmos Happy Atoms Educator's Bundle (250 Atoms)

Get to Know:

Typically, Chemistry has been reserved for high school students, but the Happy Atoms kit enables kids of all ages to see how atoms interact while they work to create their own molecules! Through over 200 hands-on activities, students are guaranteed to grasp why some atoms combine with others while some cannot. These real-world experiences will get kids observing molecular characteristics, exciting electrons, and how they coexist.

It includes 250 atoms, which represent 16 different elements and help empower students to assemble their structures on their own! Using simple components to represent atoms, kids can connect them with magnets, take their picture using a device and the Happy Atoms app, and scan these molecules to learn even more about atoms and the science behind them. Perfect for collaborative classrooms, the Happy Atoms Kit also comes in smaller sizes to suit your unique needs.

More Information:

The authentic engagement made possible by the Happy Atoms kit comes directly from its digital side. With an iOS or Android device and the Happy Atoms app, kids can explore the essence of atoms like never before! After building molecules with the components in their box based on their actual makeup, children could use state-of-the-art image recognition technology to take a photo on their device and identify the molecule they’ve built!

Their Happy Atoms app can distinguish 10,000 different molecule makeups and presents students with essential information about each one they build. To enjoy the full benefits of the Happy Atoms kit, devices should be running iOS 8+ or Android 4.4+ with a dual-core processor and a camera.
