| Describe an activity that we did this chapter and determine what I was trying to help you learn by doing the activity. | Skittles lab helped me learn: Each different colored skittle represented an element which are the simplest forms of a pure substance. By combining skittles we changed the makeup and had different tastes and different colors. The combined skittles represen |
