Atoms
Cut out the rectangles on this page.
Match them up with the rectangles
on the previous page and glue to
make a “door”.
List three basic parts of atoms
and their masses, locations and
charges on the rectangle that goes
behind this door. Label drawing.
Atoms are made of three basic particles
Answer the questions on the rectangle that goes behind

Extend Yourself
Why are atoms neutral?
Where is most of the mass of an atom
found, why?
1)
Is there anything smaller than a proton or
neutron in an atom (other than an electron)?
Research sub-atomic particles and create a
small poster showing a model of an atom with
these particles labeled.
2)
Find out the diameter of any atom. Measure at
least four distances in centimeters. Calculate
how many atoms it would take to span that
distance. Create a mini poster showing your
results.
