I am using this family as an example, because Hydrogen doesn’t have a family 

17. Element friends 12 pts.
Explain who your element baby likes to hand around
Find 3 common molecules your element is in
Draw a picture showing all the elements in that molecule
State the properties of each molecules (what does it do) in a creative way
Draw a picture of each molecule showing a common use or property are way it interacts with the world

18. I’m a water molecule. I have 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom
I’m a water molecule! I have 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. You can find me all over the world. I’m really good at sticking with other water molecules and I’m not very reactive at all.
Example

19. Element’s 1st Baby Picture
Draw a picture of your element in a way that shows its real-life uses.

21. Elements Personality 10pts.
In story, cartoon, poem, song, comic or other creative way to show your baby’s personality
Color
Density
Boiling Point
Melting Point
Something interesting about the history of your element baby or about what it does.

22. My baby’s Personality
Baby hydrogen is colorless and has no odor (which is good for his mommies nose). He isn’t very dense at g/cm-³. He’s very chill with a boiling point of °C or °F. He won’t melt on you if you take his ice cream at °C or °F. But overall he’s a great baby and once he was even used to fly huge airships. That was until they discovered he lights on fire really easy and stopped using him.
