Aim: to make a model atom
Equipment: Paper, Tape, Beads, Blue Tac, and String
Method: First I used 4 beads with the color red and green which are the colors for the protons and neutrons and only 4 because helium has an atomic number of 2. Then I put it into the strand of string causing it to hang in mid-air. I used paper to make a cutout circle and then colored in two dotes showing the electrons. Lastly, I attached the helium letters which are He.
Discussion:
Where do you find the protons? - You can find them in the nucleus
Size of atoms - They are really small that a microscope can't see them.
Charge - I'm pretty sure it's zero
