Atomic Science

Making a Atom Model:

Aim: To make a model of any atom

Equipment:

Paper
Blue Tack
Tape
String

Beads

Atom we are attempting to make: Boron

Protons: 5

Neutrons: 6

Electrons: 5

Method:

1. Collect the 11 beads (6 is neutrons) (5 is Protons -  Stick all 11 of the beads on the blue tack, any colour. Make sure there are one colour for protons and another colour for Neutrons. This is your nucleus.

2. String - Stick the nucleus onto the string

3. Making the shells- Take a piece of paper and cut 2 circles, first draw 2 circles on the smaller circle, and then draw 3 on the bigger circle, as this is the electrons.

4. Finishing step - Tape the two circles around the nucleus and onto the string
Make sure to title it

This is my example of the model, it has 5 protons, 6 neutrons, 5 electrons, and a mass of 11.
