Slideshow looking at the history of models of the atom, including those proposed by John Dalton, J.J. Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr, and James Chadwick. Discusses subatomic particles, including the numbers of protons, neutrons,...

This lesson focuses on the structure of atoms. All substances are made from atoms. Each atom is made of a nucleus - containing protons and neutrons - surrounded by electrons. It provides a link to an assessment.

The interactive activity examines the Periodic Table of Elements. Learners answer questions about the number of protons, electrons, neutrons, or nucleons that an atom of an element contains.

Build an atom out of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and see how the element, charge, and mass change. Then play a game to test how the ideas work!

Students explore the periodic table and learn the basic information given for elements: the name, symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass for each element.

Activity 1 in this module: What is the effect of changing the composition of an atom? Since all atoms contain protons, neutrons, and electrons, what makes one element different from another is examined.

Six middle school chemistry lessons about the periodic table and bonding complete with handouts and animations.
