  1. The Atoms Family The Atoms Family was created by Kathleen Crawford, 1994Presentation developed by Tracy Trimpe, 2006, http://sciencespot.net/ Adopted & Altered by Miss Brantley

  2. Name: Patty Proton Description: Positive Favorite Activity: Hanging out at the Nucleus Arcade Name: Nelda Neutron Description: Neutral Favorite Activity: Hanging out at the Nucleus Arcade The Atoms Family Story In the center of Matterville, there is a place called the Nucleus Arcade, where two members of the Atoms Family like to hang out. Perky Patty Proton, like her sisters, is quite large with a huge smile and eyes that sparkle (+). Patty is always happy and has a very positive personality. Nerdy Nelda Neutron is large like Patty, but she has a boring, flat mouth and eyes with zero expression (o). Her family is very apathetic and neutral about everything. Patty, Nelda, and their sisters spend all their time at the arcade.

  3. Name: Elliott Electron Description: Negative Favorite Activity: Racing around the arcade Around the Nucleus Arcade, you will find a series of roadways that are used by another member of the Atoms Family, Enraged Elliott Electron. Elliott races madly around the Arcade on his bright red chrome-plated Harley-Davidson. He rides so fast that no one can be sure where he is at any time. Elliott is much smaller than Patty and Nelda and he is always angry because these bigger relatives will not let him in the Arcade. He has a frown on his face, eyes that are squinted with anger, and a very negative (-) attitude.

  4. Electron cloud Electrons live here Nucleus ArcadeContains protons & neutrons Electrons live here Matterville

  5. ATOMIC STRUCTURE Particle Charge Mass proton + ve charge 1 neutron No charge 1 electron -ve charge nil

  6. BRAIN BREAK Create a model of an atom using Play-Doh in 1 minute

  7. Bohr’s Atom electrons in orbits nucleus

  8. In Matterville everything is stable as long as each negative Electron brother is balanced out by one positive Proton sister. Challenge: What would happen to Mattervilleif one Elliott Electron was kidnapped?

  9. Challenge 2: What would happen to Mattervilleif one Elliott Electron moved to Matterville?

  10. What does amu stand for and what is it used for? Atomic Mass Unit and it is the standard measurement for atoms Why can’t we measure atoms in grams or kilograms?

  11. BRAIN BREAK Telephone!!!!!!!!!

  12. Protons • An atom can be identified by the number of protons in the nucleus of its atom • Each element has a unique atomic number- the number of protons in its nucleus C 12 6

  13. Isotopes • Same # of protons and a different # of neutrons • Isotopes are identified by their mass number • Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons
