Teams display their final atom, simple molecule, and extended structure models around the room with explanation cards and take part in a timed gallery showcase. Visiting classmates and invited school adults rotate through exhibits, ask questions about protons, neutrons, electrons, molecule names, carbon-based molecules, and conservation of mass, and leave brief feedback notes. Each team must orally defend its model choices, reference at least one revision made from peer critique, and then each student completes a short notebook reflection before leaving.
