3D Structure of ATOM: DUE DATE: DECEMBER 7, 2016

GLO’s: ______

HOM’s: ______

Persisting (Don’t give up)

OBJECTIVE: Students will construct a 3D model of the atom based on the element assigned to them.

1.)What is the type of atom or element assigned to you? ______

2.)How many protons does it have? ______. What is the color of your protons? ______

3.)How many electrons does it have? ______. What is the color of your electrons? ______

4.)How many neutrons does it have? ______. What is the color of your neutrons? ______

5.)Do you have all the necessary materials to build your 3D structure? ______. If yes, then start building your atom by following the directions below. If not, then you have to continue making the “paper balloon”

6.)BUILDING THE ATOM

a.)Check that you have the right number of protons, electrons and neutrons.

b.)Using Elmer’s glue or glue gun, combine the protons and neutrons forming into a ball. This is the nucleus of your atom.

c.)Obtain a wire that is long enough to mold around the nucleus of your atom. The wire represents the electron cloud and energy level where your electrons are found.

The 1st ring is the 1st Energy level that can hold up to 2 electrons.

The 2nd ring is the 2nd Energy level which can hold up to 8 electrons.

The 3rd ring is the 3rd Energy level which can hold up to 18 electrons.

d.)Using a toothpick or needle, poke a hole on one end your paper balloon for the wire to pass through. For the 1st ring, arrange the electrons on opposite side. For the 2nd ring, arrange the electrons by pair.

e.)Loop a piece of nylon in the nucleus of your atom and tie it on the 1st ring. Make sure that the nucleus will hang in the center/middle of the 1st ring.

f.)Using a piece of wire, connect the first ring to the 2nd ring

g.)Using a string (about 18 cm- 25cm long), tie the 2nd ring to a popsicle stick

h.)Now, your atomic structure is ready to be displayed in the classroom.

7. To identify your structure for grading, obtain a cardstock (note card) and follow the instruction

below:

Front: a.) Write your name and partner’s name, period and subject

Back: a.) Name of Atom: Example: Carbon ( C )

b.) No. of protons and color code: ______

c.) No. of Electrons and color code: ______

d.) No. of neutrons and color code: ______

e.) Atomic No. ______

f.) Atomic mass/Mass no. ______

NOTE: Grade your 3D Structure based on the RUBRIC below:

Grading Rubric

Top of Form

Poor
10 pts / Fair
15 pts / Good
20 pts
Design of atom
20 pts / Atom is not accurate in terms of number of sub-atomic particles. Atom model has many design flaws. / Atom is accurate but lacks some information. Atom model has some design flaws.. / Atom is accurate and included all required information. Atom model is neat and well designed.
Creativity
20 pts /
Project appears forced, hard to follow.
It appears to have too many parts that are strange and do not serve any purpose. /
Project is nice, but it is not unique.
It has many similar components as other presentations. /
Project is unique, and does not appear to look like the others. The project shows creativity that is exciting and fresh.
Color
20 pts /
The student has no color at all in the project. /
The student has color in the project but has failed to color-code protons and neutrons correctly. / All parts of the project are correct and complete. The project has adequate color, and all parts are color-coded accordingly.
Effort
20 pts /
The project look as if it lacks significant effort. The project still needs quite a bit of work and does not appear complete. Many errors are evident in the work. / The project looks like parts of it were thrown together in a rush. The project appears to be mostly done; although, it could use some minor touch up here and there. /
The project clearly shows that much effort was put forth and the project appears complete.
Labeling
20 pts /
There was no notecard to accompany the 3D Model at all. /
The notecard was present with some labeled information, but not all. /
Labeled correctly: the Name of the element, chemical symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, student name, protons, electrons and neutron
