Transcript Atomic Structure Project 6th Grade

Atomic Structure Project
6th Grade
In order to reinforce information
taught about the basic structure of
the atom, students are to construct a
paper model of an atom and mount it
on colored computer paper. The
atomic numbers for the element they
are assigned will be drawn from a
“hat” in class.
• Students will do research to find:
• Number of protons, neutrons, and
electrons in atoms of their element
(most common form)
• Arrangement of electrons in the energy
levels
• Chemical Symbol
• Atomic number
• Metal / Nonmetal / Metalloid?
• Find at least 2 uses for the element
• Person who discovered it (if known)
• Year it was discovered (if known)
• The drawing / model should be a Bohr
type model showing number and
locations of electrons, and numbers of
protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
• A legend should be included to indicate
the identity of the particles.
• The information may be typed or neatly
written in dark ink. It should be visible
from several feet, since I would like to
display them in the hall.
• All projects are to be mounted in the
portrait position (hamburger)
• Name should be small in the lower right
corner. (first name, last initial)
• Work should be done neatly and put
together without smears,excessive
visible tape, and glue blobs.
• Writing should be neat and legible.
• Spelling should be correct.
