The Atom (8th Grade)

Atomic Structure  SC.8.P.8.5  SC.8.P.8.7  SC.8.N.3.1 ATOM - BRAINPOP  CLICK HERE: INTERACTIVE PERIODIC TABLE Objective Identify that atoms are the smallest unit of all matter and each atom consists of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Identify the location of the nucleus and electrons and determine which subatomic particles belong in each location. Determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons of common elements based on information on the Periodic Table of Elements. (Middle schoolers study stable atoms) -Create models of atoms in order to identify the number and location of their protons, neutrons, and electrons.

ATOMIC NUMBER = # of PROTONS  6 

ATOMIC NUMBER = # of ELECTRONS 6
