Molecule Builders

Hello, cadet! You have just arrived to the Builder, a lab where you will construct different molecules. As you work through how to build the molecules, you will meet different people along the way who are in charge of the different elements you will need to build the necessary molecules. As you talk with them they provide you information on molecules and compounds, as well as covalent bonding.
