This exercise will explore the different deminsions of
the atom. You will need to understand the evolution of the atom and how
we came to uderstand it's role in the universe. You should be able to describe
the physical structure of an atom and how they chemical combine.
The Task
Research the atom and its meaning. Research the following tasks and prepare your findings for a classroom presentation. The presentation will need to be at least 3-5 minutes long covering the following:
Resources
The following websites will provide you with the information needed
to complete your task.
What is an
atom?
Physical
Structure and Characteristics
Chemical
Bonding

More Info on Bonding
The Process
This project will be prepared in groups of two. The group will need
to divide the tasks evenly and research each. Once you have gathered all
the required information it will be time to prepare the presentation. You
will need to use models to represent the physical structure and chemical
bonding of atoms. Be sure to provide information on where you discovered
your findings along with all the required tasks.
Evaluation
Students will be evaluated on content,creativity, and
structure. Teachers may want to use a rubric
to evaluate the student in this project.
Conclusion
After completion of this project you should understand the physical structure of the atom and how they combine. Understanding the atom is a foundation for knowledge in chemistry. Hopefully you have enjoyed learning about the atom and now you know something new about the world around you.
