Subatomic Particles Teacher Resources

Everything is made up of atoms, but what are atoms made up of? The simulation explores subatomic particles. It focuses on hadron, boson, and lepton groupings as scholars learn about quarks, neutrinos, gluons, and more.

Four diagrams of the atom and their subatomic particles and structures are given here and students should be able to complete the labels need to define the structures shown. The main structures defined are protons, neutrons, electrons,...

In this atom learning exercise, students fill in three charts using the periodic table to identify atomic number, atomic mass, number of subatomic particles and the element's symbols. Students draw an atom and it's subatomic particles as...

Eighth graders research the structure of the atom. They identify the properties of subatomic particles, including mass and electrical charge. Students access the websit www.chem4kids and extract 10 main facts from the content provided...

Students explain how the elements are arranged in the periodic table. In this chemistry lesson, students determine the subatomic particles for certain elements. They research the physical and chemical properties of an element they chose.

Simple in format and standard in content, this resource is an assessment of your beginning chemists' grasp of the atom. Using a periodic table of elements, they fill in a chart of missing chemical formulas, atomic masses, and numbers of...

How do we know so much about the atom? Explore the evolution of the atomic model through a video from an informative chemistry lessons playlist. The narrator describes how our view of atoms and subatomic particles has changed from...

For this history of the atom worksheet, high schoolers answer questions about Thomson's cathode ray apparatus, Rutherford's gold foil experiment and Dalton's beliefs about the atom. Students identify the number of protons, neutrons and...

Students investigate the structure of the atom and its composition. In this atom structure lesson, students find the area of cut out circles and drop pens into the circles. They count the number of marks in the circles and relate their...

Address the question that physics learners are burning to know the answer to: How does an atom-smashing particle accelerator work? The LHC or Large Hadron Collider is introduced as a tool for uncovering the mysterious rules that govern...

An engaging activity enlightens young chemists in this lesson on atomic structure. They play musical chairs through a series of concentric circles that represent electon orbitals. A laundry basket in the middle holds the protons and...

Bold boxes present parts of the periodic table, with some of the contents conveniently missing. Beginning chemists fill in the blanks, which may include the atomic number, atomic mass, atomic symbol, or element name. Beneath each box...

The teacher focuses on the chemistry of the metals in Olympic medals. This video is a different approach to teaching about metals, covering a variety of concepts: elements, alloys, properties of metals, atomic structure, and the periodic...

Seventh graders divide into small groups to construct several models. Each group builds with an accompanying chart showing the colors of gumdrops used for the protons, electrons, and neutrons.)

In 1897, J.J. Thomson discovered the electron, the first subatomic particle proven to exist. Scholars review their understanding of electrons, protons, and neutrons as they work through the puzzles. Each puzzle connects two or three...

How do we see what we can't see? An episode of a comprehensive physics playlist shows images of the smallest particles current technology can record. The instructor discusses current and past research on the makeup of subatomic particles.

Subatomic particles live in a cloud of probability. The video explains the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and how it relates to this cloud of probability. It also details the observer effect, which is often confused for the uncertainty...
