ATOM MODEL PROJECT
(by F. Todd 2004)
PURPOSE: To create a 3-D model of an atom.
PROCEDURE:
1. Your teacher will assign you an atom for your model.
The name of my atom is:______________________
2. You will do some research and record the following information about your atom:
A. Atomic number:_________________
B. Atomic mass:___________________
C. Mass number:___________________
D. Number of Protons:______________
E. Number of Neutrons:_____________
F. Number of Electrons:_____________
G. Arrangement of Electrons: K___ L___ M___
F. Make a 2-D sketch of your atom in the space below.
3. Use the information that you acquired from step #2 to construct a 3-D model of
your atom. Your model must show the following:
A. Be 3-Dimensional with the protons, neutrons, and electrons
represented in their correct locations and by their correct respective sizes.
B. Have a key attached to it that states the atoms
-Name
-Number of protons
-Number of neutrons
-Number of electrons
-Electron shell arrangement of the electrons
-Your name and period
C. Contain a string and paper clip so that you teacher can hang it in the room
or have a stand so that your model can be displayed on the counter.
GRADING: Will be based on how well you carry out the above procedures and neatness.
EXTRA CREDIT: 3 extra points will be awarded to any atom that can fit inside a 5 x 5 x 5 inch box.
