=Introduction= Take a look around you. See those books? That nice laptop? The name-brand clothes you're wearing? The snacks you're eating? That's all chemistry. Chemistry is the basis for everything that exists. On an even finer note, atoms are the reason for everything around us. Atoms are the building blocks for which we have matter, and matter is what exists all around us. There is so much to know about Chemistry and how things around us work! If you had the power to create a kind of atom that could change the world, what would you do with that power?

=Task= You are a young, new, excited research scientist. You've been accepted as an applicant for the Scientific Research Corporation, and you're competing against one hundred other applicants. Your goal is to design a new kind of atom that will be useful in creating new military technology. The board of directors has asked you to create a Comic Life that introduces your atom, its structure, and why it will be beneficial. Use all your knowledge and apply it with everything you have; if hired on, you will receive a $20,000 bonus. Show them you're their next engineer in research!

=Conclusion= Congratulations! You were chosen as the next research engineer for the Scientific Research Corporation! How does it feel? Your new, innovative, cutting-edge atom design will be incredibly beneficial for those serving overseas! See how just knowing about the different parts of atoms, how energy works, and how matter is around us can lead to something so awesome? Consider yourself a chemist now, because you definitely have the knowledge to be one!
