Aim - To make a Model Atom.
Method -
- Choose an atom to make (one between Hydrogen and Neon)
- Work out how many protons, neutrons and electrons it has.
- Assign protons and neutrons to a particular colour bead.
- Get a ball of blue tac and stick the protons and neutrons to this to make your nucleus.
- Cut out the appropriate electron shells and draw on the electrons with vivid.
- Connect the nucleus and electron shells with a piece of string.
- Create a label to go above the model so people know what you have created.

Discussion (Explaining what I made)
Oxygen -
- Atomic Number + Mass Number = 8/16
- Number of Protons = 8, Neutrons = 10 and electrons = 7
- Electron arrangement - The first shell is only allowed 2 electrons, and the maximum of the second shell is 8.
- 2 facts about Atoms
- Atoms are the smallest participial that make up elements
- The components of an atom are held together by three forces.
Conclusion:
In my opinion, I think this experiment worked out well because of the calculations and Focus on my hard work. What I found difficult about this, was cutting 2 circles from a paper and sticking the nucleus's on the blue tac. What I would do differently next time is use different materials and make the atom model bigger.
