Illustrated instructions for how to make a model of an atom (an atom mobile).

In this lab, students investigate basic electron structure by making a model using pennies and different sized filter papers.

Introduces learners to atomic models of the past and present, focusing on the orbital model and an explanation of its basis. Learners then have the opportunity to "make an atom" and contrast it with an ion, followed by an isotope. The...
