Atom Model Project

Atom Model Project

You are required to construct a 3D model of the structure of an atom and complete a fact sheet about your element.

See Project description, Rough Draft Rubric, Fact Sheet, and Project Rubric below.

Use the following links to help you research the information you will need to complete your fact sheet.

You can also use Google! Just type in your element name, plus the words "facts for kids." (For example "Hydrogen facts for kids")

Did you finish your fact sheet?

Are you sure? Are your facts in complete sentences? Is everything spelled correctly?

Then you can play Periodic Table games!
