Big Ideas
(Core Concepts)
Standard(s):
Order
in
the
universe
is
exhibited through
the location and
function
of
subatomic particles
and the likeness of
atoms of individual
elements
A strong force is
needed to hold the
nucleus together in
all atoms.
Radioactive dating
is
the
direct
function
of
the
timed
decay
of
radioactive atoms.

C3.5a:
Explain
why
matter is not conserved in
nuclear reactions.
Atomic

C4.7b:
Compare
the
density of pure water to
that of a sugar solution.
Charged
C4.8A:
Identify
the
location, relative mass,
and charge for electrons,
protons, and neutrons.
C4.8B:
Describe
the
atom as mostly empty
space with an extremely
small,
dense
nucleus
consisting of the protons
and neutrons and an
electron
cloud
surrounding the nucleus.
C4.8C: Recognize that
protons repel each other
and that a strong force
needs to be present to
keep the nucleus intact.
C4.8D: Give the number
of electrons and protons
present if the fluoride ion
has a -1 charge.
C4.10A: List the number
of protons, neutrons, and
electrons for any given
ion or isotope.

What is the location and shape of the object inside?
Use a hat pin to probe a clay ball with a penny
embedded inside. Students should collect data each
time they probe into the clay.
They should record
position, hit or no miss and depth if the object hits
something solid. Explain the analogy of the clay ball to
our model of the atom.
Extend the inquiry by asking another related question
and experimenting to find the answer.

Review the human perspective on the atom beginning
with the early times before the Greek philosophers.
Include the early Greeks, Dalton, J.J. Thompson,
Rutherford, and Bohr.
