The Incredible Edible Atom Project

1. The Incredible Edible Atom Project Due: Tuesday, 11-19-13

2. Incredible Edible Atom Project You will create two products for this project: • An atomic model made of edible objects 2. A summary of the atom you create

3. Atomic Model You will build an edible atom based on the element you are assigned Requirements: • all protons, neutrons, and electrons must be made of food • materials holding up your atom do not have to be edible (you can use string, wire, plastic, wood, etc.) • protons, neutrons, and electrons must be proportional to each other • use cheap food/candy (this assignment is not encouraging food or money waste) • Your name must be applied somewhere on the model

4. Details on Atomic Model Pay Attention to Scale – make sure subatomic particles are proportional to each other Example – protons and neutrons are much larger than electrons. So if you’re using a cookie and which should be which? What about an orange and a blueberry? Proton or Neutron Electron

5. Atom Models It’s likely that you will need to use glue to attach items and models will be handled by multiple hands, so please ……. Don’t eat your model

6. What materials will you use to create your edible atomic model?

7. Written Summary of Atomic Model • should be approximately 75 words (about 1 page) • should be in complete sentences • should include: • where on the periodic table is your atom found (ex. metals, metalloids, non-metals, noble gases) • the properties of your element • The products in which it is found • What else should be included? • atomic name • symbol • atomic number • atomic weight • # of electrons • # of protons • # of neutrons
