Create an Atom Project

Create an Atom
Extra Credit Project

Possible Points: 10 – 20 depending upon the difficulty of the atom chosen

Project:
1. Choose an element from the periodic table with an atomic number between 7 and 18 (Nitrogen to Argon). There are 12 elements to choose from, so choose wisely.
2. Create a 3-dimensional model of the element, including:
Protons
Neutrons
Electrons
Electron levels/clouds

3. Your model can be constructed out of any materials as long as they will not rot or smell. No drawings or computer created images will be accepted!
4. Your model MUST be able to be hung from the ceiling, so plan for that.
5. Once your model has been constructed, create a sign (no larger than 10cm x 10cm) that will hang from your model that gives the following information:
Name of the element
Element symbol
Atomic Number
Atomic Mass
Mass Number
