‪Build an Atom‬

Protons: _____	Neutrons: _____	Electrons: ______ How many energy shells will this have? ____ How many valence (outer) electrons does this element have? ____

Level 1 (closest to the nucleus) can hold a maximum of 2e. Level 2 can hold a max of 8e. Level 3 can hold a max of 18e. Level 4 can hold a max of 32e.

You must fill one level before going on to draw the next level!

You will understand atomic structure by constructing a Bohr Model for an assigned element. Construct a three-dimensional (3D) Bohr Model of an atom using any materials of your choice. (ex. Styrofoam balls, buttons, beans, pom-poms, glitter, yarn, pipe cleaners, hangers, Styrofoam plates, beans, candy or anything you might find in your house). &#160; You will need to use different color items to represent the protons, neutrons and electrons. Refer to the Periodic Table of Elements for the correct number of subatomic particles (P.E.N.) &#160; Properly place the protons, electrons and neutrons in the atom (follow the Bohr Model rules). &#160; Make sure your element can be hung by a string! &#160; You will be given an index card by your teacher with your assigned element. When submitting your project, return the index card with the number of p, n, and e for your element. The index card should also have the element symbol on it.

Just how small is an atom?

SPS1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information from the Periodic Table to explain the relative properties of elements based on patterns of atomic structure.
