Young mathematical scientists interact with protons and electrons in an atom to create a neutrally charged atom. They answer questions based on their findings throughout the interactive resource.

Get back to bonding basics. Science scholars get a chance to show what they know using a simple interactive. Pupils create models of covalent and ionic bonds before answering questions about each interaction. The resource includes a...

In this interactive Internet  assignment, physical science investigators answer 11 questions about the atom, the subatomic particles, and atomic structure. They can click on "Reveal Answer" to discover if they are correct. They also...

Scholars build specific elements by creating a model of its atomic structure. Objects they can include are protons, nuetrons, electrons, orbits, clouds, charge, and mass number. Simulation ends with questions to challenge individuals'...

Shock your physical science class using this video to teach the basics of static electricity. Electricity is defined,and electrons are differentiated from protons on an atom model. The use of hydropower and wind are explained as ways of...

What's smaller than a kiwi seed? Atoms! Basic atomic structure is detailed for beginning chemists in a light-hearted animation. Protons and neutrons are explained as part of the nucleus, and so are electrons that encircle the nucleus....

Feeling a little uncertain about your materials for teaching the quantum mechanical model of the atom? Here is an interactive that will help! Chemistry and physics scholars alike will benefit from a simple resource that illustrates the...

Are your young physicists static-savvy? Test their skills using an engaging interactive from the Static Electricity series! Learners evaluate scenarios to determine how charges move between conductors and insulators, then identify...

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...

In this chemistry worksheet, students read about atoms, their charges, and their parts; protons and neutrons. They examine how to determine atomic weight by looking at an example. They work online as they practice finding the atomic...

Protons and neutrons and electrons, oh my! Physical science scholars get hands-on with interactive atomic modeling. Starting with a simple helium atom, participants create and name ions, then build isotopes. Questions throughout the...

What makes some elements stable and others radioactive? Scholars adjust the number of protons and neutrons in an element then observe its decay. The simulation includes a graphical representation and the chemical formula, as well as...

Changing the number of neutrons in an atom makes it an isotope, but it does not change the element. Pupils complete logic puzzles, matching isotopes with their unique number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Either on paper or timed...

In this science:  atom quiz worksheet, students answer 10 true or false questions, not interactively, then scroll down to check their answers.

This page is an exercise in relating the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons for an atom or monoatomic ion.

Build an atom out of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and see how the element, charge, and mass change. Then play a game to test how the ideas work!

Explore how changing the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons affect the type of atom.

An interesting and useful tool to practice recognition/calculation of atomic number, mass, and number of neutrons, electrons, etc. Can be used with all elements.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Manipulate the electrons and protons to explore metallic bonding. Then answer a self-correcting concept question.

Find out if you know enough about atoms to build them. The goal of the activity is to build an atom of a particular element by dragging the correct numbers of neutrons, protons and electrons into the atom.

In this interactive activity from ChemThink, students will take a closer look at atomic structure, properties, and behaviors. Includes background reading material and discussion questions.
