Subatomic Particles Teacher Resources

In this problem solving worksheet, students are given five problems including calculating volume given the dimensions of a pool, determining the number of subatomic particles in an atom, filling in a table with chemical names and...

In this mineral activity, students give the name and/or symbol for elements and they distinguish between elements and compounds. They fill in a chart with subatomic particles for given elements and they determine if given substances are...

Students interview the chemical elements. They research information about their element, such as: stable isotopes, valence electrons, number of subatomic particles. They create a yearbook page for their element, and a format to present it.

Students are introduced to the periodic table. They find the common trends among the electron configurations and the names of certain groups of the table. Students explore the atomic mass, atomic number, mass number, mass and charge...

Why did lightning shock the man? Because it didn't know how to conduct itself. Presentation covers electric charges, insulators, conductors, electroscopes, lightning, generators, grounding, static electricity, and more. Presentation...

Teaching young scientists about atoms is no small task, but this series of worksheets will make it a little easier. From creating and labeling Bohr models, to identifying information provided in the periodic table of elements,...

There's nothing sticky about the resource, unless you count the gumdrops! Scholars create a model of a lithium atom, complete with protons, neutrons, and electrons. It's just that these models are made with gumdrops and toothpicks.

Lead your class through the amazing world of isotopes as they investigate the various properties they contain and further understand their respective location on the periodic table. They explore half-lives and radioactivity as each...

Walk in the shoes of a research scientist. A short video describes the hurdles necessary to prove that neutrinos are faster than light. The narrator describes the initial experiment and the follow-up research necessary to support the...

Is your class in a quandary over quantum numbers? Change things up by adding games to the mix! Science scholars discover the shape, number of electrons, and number of orbitals in the s, p, and d sub-shells using an interactive.

It's electronic! Pupils uncover elements and their electron configurations as they explore mass, groupings, correct charges, and sliding theory. Young scientists learn creative ways to remember various elements and correctly...

An educational presentation includes atoms, molecules, the four major elements, as well as neutrons and protons. Additionally, slides focus on atomic number, mass number, atomic weight, polar and nonpolar covalent bonding, ionic...

Aristotle said, "The more you know, the more you know you don't know." Physics includes everything from the laws of motion to quantum gravity. An interesting video attempts to cover the main concepts of every branch of physics in only a...

This science presentation focuses on the elements in the periodic table. It begins with the parts of an atom, explaining atomic mass and atomic number, valence electrons, and isotopes. Then it moves on to discuss various ways of...

Third graders investigate different energy conversions through hands-on activities. In this energy lesson, 3rd graders move through four stations and conduct experiments illustrating energy conversions. Wave energy, chemical energy,...

Students examine the hierarchy theory and biotic organization by playing a teacher-created card game matching groups of items, such as organelles, in suits of four. They discuss the reasons for their hierarchical organization of the...

Chemguy uses diagrams on his whiteboard to describe the structure of an atom. In a second segment, he explains what an isotope is with an example. That is all there is to this presentation. Its brevity allows you to include it as a link...

Class members use the provided worksheet to create a resume for one element from the periodic table. The activity teaches learners about all of the properties of elements and how to read the periodic table.

In this atom activity, students read about the parts of the atom and how atoms combine into molecules and compounds. Students learn how to read a periodic table. This activity has 20 fill in the blank and 10 matching questions.

In this masses of atoms learning exercise, students complete a chart of 7 isotopes with their isotope symbol, atomic mass, atomic number, and the number of protons, neutrons and electrons. They calculate the average atomic mass of two...

In these chapter test worksheets students will multiple choice questions on atoms. Students will complete 77 questions on atoms to complete the chapter test.

Learners explore webpages to research the nature of atoms, including electrons, protons, and neutrons. This lesson plan is the first of a four-part series on static electricity. They see that static electricity involves + and - charges.

Students examine the concept that static electricity is a phenomenon that involves positive and negative charges. They explore the Static Electricity section of the Science, Technology and Engineering website to learn more about the...

Students study concepts related to static electricity, based on a single example: lightning. They explain how static electricity, lightning, and sparks are all related phenomena. They draw a diagram illustrating the negative and positive...
