Modeling Atoms Skittles Style
Background Questions: [Explain in your Own Words…]
1. What is an Atom– _________________________________________________
2. What three subatomic parts make an Atom – ____________________, _________________, and _________________. [Put the charge beside each answer]
3. The nucleus is made of _____________ and ______________.
4. What is the difference between atomic number and atomic mass?
5. What do you know about Valence Electrons?
6. What makes up an atom’s weight?
7. Atoms are mostly ___________ _______________.
8. How many electrons are in: (p.108)
a. Level 1 d. Level 4
b. Level 2
c. Level 3
( Each table will receive a gracious amount of skittles. [You may need to trade some colors with classmates.] It does not matter what colors you use… Please do NOT argue about who gets what colors. The skittles will represent the atom’s electrons
Directions:
1. WASH your Hands… Sanitize those digits!
2. Model the electrons with Skittles
3. Illustrate all possible elements you can make from your available candy pile.
4. Fill in the appropriate boxes
Helpful Hints:
• Remember that the Atomic Number is the number of Protons in an atom.
• The Mass Number is the number or Protons and Neutrons combined.
• The number of Electrons equals the number of Protons in an atom.
