The document provides information about building and exploring atoms using an online simulation called "Build an Atom". It includes questions and activities about identifying subatomic particles, determining atomic structure and properties, and understanding isotopes and their relationships.
Build an atom out of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and see how the element, charge, and mass change. Then play a game to test your ideas!
This document provides instructions for students to complete a remote lab using the Build an Atom simulation. The learning goals are for students to 1) make atom models showing stable atoms or ions, 2) use subatomic particle information to identify elements and draw atom models, and 3) predict how changes to atoms affect properties.
Explore the interactive simulation to build and understand atoms, isotopes, and their periodic table representations at PhET.
First, click on “Atom” to explore the sim and learn the features. - Add protons, neutrons, and electrons to the atom. The sim automatically tells you the element’s identity based on the particles you add. - Experiment with the number of particles you add to make neutral atom s as well as ions.
