An atom is what makes up the earth and everything we know of. An atom is made up of four things, a nucleus, protons, neutrons, and electrons. The nucleus is the center of the atom, protons and electrons are the things that make it. A proton it what makes up the nucleus, it is also what gives an element on the periodic table of elements it's periodic number. Let's say that a atom has 3 protons then it has a periodic number of 3. Also a proton has an positive electric charge, that is why some people put plus signs on it when they draw it. 
A neutron is another part that makes up the nucleus, a neutron has a neutral electric charge. An electron travels around the nucleus and creates almost a barrier around it, fun fact the number of protons in an atom is the same as the number of electrons let's say you had 9 protons you would have 9 electrons. Electrons have a negative charge.

An element is made up of molecules. A molecule is when two or more of the same type of atom chemically bind together. When we make these into elements then we can sort them in the periodic table of elements which is organised by periodic number. A periodic number in the number of protons in an atom, each substance or element has it's own periodic number, like hydrogen has a periodic number of 1.

A mixture is when two different substances or elements are forced to mix together by physical bonds, when this happens no chemical reaction occurs so that makes it so you can separate the two substances or elements from one another. This is like a compound but they can be taken apart. 

A compound is when two different substances or elements combine chemically so that a chemical reaction occurs. Once this happens their is no going back and you can not separate them again. You know that a chemical reaction has occurred when your senses sense something different about the substance.

In science I explained molecules, atoms, compounds, and mixtures. I did this by making sure that all the detail that was needed to be able to explain this in a kid friendly way but still complicated enough for grown ups and older kids to understand. I also made sure that my work was correct by using the stuff that my teacher said and paraphrasing it to a way that it had the proper and right meaning. Then I wrote about it which finished the explanation through my work properly and efficiently.
