Play Dough Atom Model Lab Activity
You and your group will be creating models of atoms. These atoms need to include the correct number
of protons, neutrons, and electrons. All electrons need to also be represented in the correct
orbit….remember 2,8,18.
Identify the correct element for each question and create the correct atomic structure for each. Your
group will raise their hand when ready to be checked off. List the number of protons, electrons, and
neutrons on this page before constructing the model. Pre-write on this page.
