  1. Atoms What are atoms?

  2. An atom is… The smallest unit of matter. So what is Matter? Anything that has mass and takes up space is matter!

  3. Everything is made of atoms

  4. An Atom is made of… Electrons – negatively charged particles Neutrons – particles that are neutral – no charge Protons – positively charged particles Protons in the atom’s nucleus attract the electrons and keep them in orbit around the nucleus.

  5. Atoms are small • Atoms are so small that they cannot be seen with regular microscopes. There are special microscopes that can give you a feel of what atoms look like. Average microscopes can show you another very small unit – any ideas what that is? http://www.open.edu/openlearn/nature-environment/natural-history/digital-microscope

  6. A molecule is made of at least two atoms. Water molecule

  7. Flow Map of an Atom • Imagine you need to explain what you learned about atoms today to an absent 5th grader. • Make a Flow Map of what an atom is. • Work with a partner. • Start with water. • Draw a picture and write a sentence for each square. Example: Water is made of smaller things.
