Classroom Resources: Atomic Structure
76 – 85 of 85 Classroom Resources
-
Ionic Bonding, Naming Compounds, Intramolecular Forces, Ions | High School
Activity: Constructing Ionic Compounds
In this activity, students will construct ionic compounds by balancing the charges on cations and anions.
-
Atomic Theory, Model of the Atom, Subatomic Particles, Ions, Isotopes, Atoms, Atomic Mass | High School, Middle School
Activity: Simulation Activity: Building an Atom
In this simulation, students manipulate the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an element and determine how these effect the mass number, atomic number, and other properties of an atom.
-
Valence Electrons, Lewis Dot Diagrams | High School
Activity: Box Valence Electrons
In this activity, students will create a mini periodic table of elements using Lewis dot diagrams to represent each element up to calcium.
-
Isotopes, Atomic Mass, Measurements | High School
Activity: Beanium Isotopes
In this activity, students will determine the average atomic mass of a sample of an imaginary element called Beanium.
-
Model of the Atom, Periodic Table, Elements, Atomic Mass, Electrons, Atoms | Middle School
Activity: Augmented Reality and the Atomic Model
In this project, students will first work with a partner to select a common element from the periodic table to research. They will create a video using iPods to present their research and they will access the Aurasma app on iPods to upload their video. Students will create a trigger image using a picture of the element from the periodic table. Secondly, the students will use the Aurasma App to scan a different element’s trigger image and will use information from another group’s video to construct a model that replicates the atomic structure for the selected element.
-
Atoms, Subatomic Particles, Isotopes, Atomic Theory, History, Elements | Middle School, High School
Activity: Atomic Structure RAFT
In this activity, students choose from a number of activity options in order to best display their understanding of atomic structure. The RAFT model will be followed for this assignment, which means the students choose their assignment and may modify the assignment based on Role, Audience, Format, and Topic.
-
Molecular Formula, Atomic Mass, Molar Mass | High School
Activity: Molecule Building Tournament
In this activity, students determine molecular formulas given formula masses and a limited number of atoms.
-
Periodic Table, Physical Properties, Identifying an Unknown, Ionization Energy, Atomic Radius, Electronegativity | High School
Activity: Mendeleev's Periodic Table
In this activity, students will use their knowledge of Periodic Trends to analyze and identify unknown elements and organize them correctly in the Periodic Table.
-
Ionic Bonding, Naming Compounds, Precipitate, Ions, Molecular Formula | Middle School
Activity: Bond with a Classmate
In this activity, students are assigned an ion and form bonds with their classmates, recording the formula and name of the compound they created.
-
Culminating Project, Review, Physical Properties, Chemical Properties, Periodic Table, History, Interdisciplinary, Electron Configuration, Subatomic Particles, Isotopes, Atomic Mass | High School, Middle School
Project: 21st Century Elements
In this project, students will learn the importance of the elements in our lives. The students will research one chosen element and create a website, a digital comic strip, or a video to explain the important properties of the element as well as why the element is so important to our lives.
