Subatomic Particle Concept Map Proton, Neutron, Election Graphic Organizer location, charge, relationship to elements, isotopes, mass number, ions & more Subatomic Particle Concept Map Use this concept map for student to review previous knowledge at the beginning of the atomic structure unit, or as a summary or exit slip at the end of a lesson. What is included? A map-style graphic organizer to organize the subatomic particles. Student can easily see similarities between protons, neutrons and electrons as well as important differences. It can be used as a study-aid or quick reference to remind students what particles make up the mass number versus the atomic number, which particle identifies an element, what changes between isotopes of the same element, what changes to create ions, as well as basic properties of the particles. It is a great resource for visual learners. Chemistry Clues Seating Chart Activity, An answer key and Google slide option included. Teacher Tips: I like to use this as a warm-up mid-way through the atomic structure unit after we’ve explored some but not all the content in the map. Students have a few minutes to work alone then compare answers with their shoulder partner. Together they discuss the parts of they don’t agree on or have yet to complete. Students prepare to report out their answers and reasoning to the whole class.
