Now that the research papers are complete, let’s
talk about your science experiment.

Describe the science experiment you are going
to test. Identify the IV, DV and at least 3 CVs.

I will…
 Know the charge, mass and location of the
protons, electrons and neutrons
 Know the two regions of the atom (nucleus and
electron cloud)

To show what I have learned, I will…
 Create and record a song, poem, dance, etc. that
includes all the information about the parts of an
atom
1.
Each group will be assigned a vocabulary word.
2.
Independently you will read the passage and pull out
the important information about your vocabulary
word and write it in your corner of the paper.
3.
As a group, you will decide which information is the
most important and write it in the center of the piece
of paper.
4.
Your group will present the information to the class.

What are three things/ideas you remember
about the subatomic particles that make up an
atom from our placemat activity last week?

I will…
 Know the charge, mass and location of the
protons, electrons and neutrons
 Know the two regions of the atom (nucleus and
electron cloud)

To show what I have learned, I will…

atom

Atomic Structure

A very small particle that is the building block
of all matter

Atoms are too small to be seen

our ideas about what an atom looks like has
changed over the past 2500 years due to
scientific research and new technology.

Today we believe atoms have the following:
 Nucleus
▪ Containing protons & neutrons
 Electron Cloud
▪ Containing electrons

dense (tightly packed) center portion of the
atom that contains the protons and neutrons

positively charged

makes up most of the atom’s mass, but very
little of it’s volume

large, nearly empty space that surrounds the
nucleus of an atom and contains the electrons

negatively charged electrons move very quickly
inside of the electron cloud

makes up most of the atom’s volume, but very
little of it’s mass

(Honors) The outermost electrons of an atom
that participate in chemical bonding are called
valence electrons.

As a group you will rotate around the room to
complete each of the 8 stations.
Please remain on task.
I will let you know when it is time to switch.
If you finish a station early, please work on
the crossword puzzle.

Script ~ you have to show me a script before I give
you a camera
Each video much contain:
 Mass, location and charge of a proton, electron and
neutron
 Describe the nucleus and electron cloud

This is not an oral presentation, BE CREATIVE!!
 Song, dance, chant, poem, etc.
 Use props (definitely a good idea!)
