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

Discussion
- Atomic and mass number - Atomic number - 3 - Mass number - 7
- Number of protons, electrons and neutrons - Protons - 3, Electrons - 3 - Neutrons - 4
- Electron arrangement - Two dots can be on the first ring and upto eight can be on the outer ring
- 2 interesting facts -
1.When putting the dots on the shells of the atom you go up by 1 dot at a time
2. Everything are made of atoms even people
Conclusion - Did it work - It worked but when I went to go get it, it had fallen too pieces
- Would you do anything different - I would try make my circles a bit bigger
