Model of an Atom Project
I would like you to make a model of an atom that clearly shows the major parts of the atom:




Nucleus with protons and neutrons
Electrons in a cloud or orbitals around the nucleus
Empty space between the nucleus and the electrons
Label each part or make a key and include the charges of the subatomic particles
Use your creativity in selecting materials for this project. It can be presented as a few standing model, suspended from something
like a coat hanger, or mounted on a poster board. Feel free to use gumdrops, mini marshmallows, jelly beans, Styrofoam balls,
paints, fabric, cut paper, etc. to represent the parts of the atom.
Your grade will be based on:



1.
2.
3.
4.
Demonstrating a knowledge of understanding the parts of the atom
A neat and creative visual presentation
The model is original and presents the parts of the atom in a new and creative way
To Do:
Pick an element to do. This element must be between Atomic Number 5 and Atomic Number 28.
Draw and label a sketch of this atom. Be sure that you check how many electrons can go in each orbital (1st =2e-, 2nd = 8e-, 3rd =
18 e-)
Plan how you would like to construct your model and what materials you will need.
Construct your model of the atom and make a key for your model.
