In the Plastic Pink Flamingos leveled reader, young readers are introduced to the chemistry of polymers. A polymer is a type of molecule made of many repeating units of hydrogen and carbon atoms connected in a long chain. Atoms are defined as making up everything we touch, taste, smell, and see. Atoms link together to make molecules, and molecules can link together to make polymers. Under certain conditions a polymer can change its shape, color, or size; for example, when heat is added or force is applied or when it combines with another substance. Examples are provided of items made of polymers.
