Materials List: Gumdrop Atoms

Each group needs:

  • 4 red gumdrops
  • 3 green gumdrops
  • 3 blue/purple/white gumdrops
  • 4-5 wooden toothpicks
  • 3 long wooden skewers
  • 10 small sticker dots
  • Atom Worksheet

Note: Non-sugarcoated gumdrops work better for this activity. If sugarcoated gumdrops are used, students will need to use staples to attach the dot stickers to the gumdrops.
