Atomic Model Project PROJECT 5 – ATOMIC MODELS BACKGROUND: We have learned about atomic structure, what atoms are made of and how they look. Now it is time to build a model of an atom! ASSIGNMENT You will need to sign up for your element in Google Drive. You will build a 3-D representation of one atom of that element, no “flat” models will be allowed. You must use materials other than paper (Styrofoam balls, wood, balloons, food, pipe cleaners). Separate colors must be used for each part of the atom. A color key must accompany your project. These models will be displayed in the room. An example picture is included on the last page of these instructions. Also, a 2 paragraph essay must accompany your project. Your essay should include a detailed description about the element. Your essay should include the following: o The name of the element o How the electrons are arranged around the nucleus o Interesting properties that the element contains. o Who discovered the element o Where the element can be found o What the element is used for o DO NOT cut and paste information from websites! The atomic model must be scientifically accurate! * The model should have the proper number of protons, neutrons and electrons. The atomic model must be properly labeled  ASSESSMENT Your model will be graded on the following criteria:  creativity, imagination and scientific accuracy accuracy.  Your model will be a major exam grade!  25 points – essay  75 points – model Atomic Model Project Rubric MODEL ACCURACY 20: The number of protons, neutrons and electrons are correct. DESIGN/MATERIALS COLOR KEY ACCURACY 20: The color key is easy to read, clearly identified, and all parts are present and correct. TIMELINESS 20: Well constructed, demonstrates creative use of materials, and is a reasonable size. 15: There is an error in ONE of the atom particle totals. 15: Generally well constructed, creative use of materials, and is reasonable size. 15: Key is easy to read, clearly identified, with 1-2 errors in the required information. 15: The student submits the assignment 1 day late. 10: There is an error in TWO of the atom particle totals. 10: Construction, OR use of materials, OR size does not meet expectations. 10: Key generally easy to read, clearly identified with 3-4 errors in the required information. 10: The student submits the assignment 2 days late. 5: All three atom particle totals are incorrect. 5: Overall failure to meet expectations; haphazard material use and lack of effort is evident 5: Key may be difficult to read, is not clearly identified, or contains 5 or more information errors. 5: The student submits the assignment 3 days (or more) late. 20: The student completed and submitted the project on or before the required date. Points: Total: ESSAY 20: The student effectively discussed the element in detail and included all required information. 15: The student discussed the element and included all required information. 10: The student discussed the element but did not include all the required information. 5: The student did not meet the 300 word minimum, or plagiarized most of the work.
