Description
In this full-page activity, students color the subatomic particles in two atoms – nitrogen on page one and a mystery atom on page two. After shading in the protons, neutrons, and electrons their respective colors, students superimpose a plus sign in the yellow-colored protons to denote their positive charge. The mystery atom has three different energy levels of electrons and students are directed to color each layer differently. From there, students count the protons to determine the atomic number. Students then count and add the number of neutrons to the proton total to ascertain the atomic mass. Students then are asked to count the number of electrons in the first, second, and third energy levels. Students use the atomic number to identify the mystery atom. Finally, students examine the Lewis symbol and read a short narrative on valence electrons before answering a few questions about covalent and ionic bond tendencies for phosphorus, the mystery atom.
I assign this activity in my eighth-grade physical science class. High school physical science and chemistry teachers could also use this lesson as a remedial reinforcement activity or as an accommodation to differentiate their curriculum to meet the needs of students who struggle to learn.
This document will become editable upon conversion to Microsoft Word using an Adobe Acrobat DC Reader app. It includes a complete answer key.
I began launching my curriculum line through Amped Up Learning in 2019. I have over twenty-five years of teaching and curriculum writing experience. I joined Amped Up Learning with eighteen years of publishing experience through several international science supply corporations.
