Aim: To make a model atom

Method:

1. Choose an atom to male(one between Hydrogen and Neon) 

2. Find out how many protons, neutrons, and electrons it has
3. Assign protons and neutrons to a particular colour bead

4. Get a ball of blue tac and stick the protons and neutrons to this to make your nucleas

5. Cut out the appropriate electron shells and draw on the electrons with vivid

6. Connect the nucleas and electron shells with a piece of string

7. Create a label to go above the model so people know what you have created

Results: The results turned out well and I was able to finish it before the bell went, I also had to double layer the tape because otherwise the nucleas would have fallen off and cracked on the ground.  

Discussion: The element that I choose to do was called Lithium

Atomic+Mass Number= 3/7

Number of protons= 3, Neutrons=4 and Electrons= 3

The electrons arrangment went like 2 dots on the middle shell and 1 dot on the outer shell.

Although it is metal  it is soft enough to cut with a knife, it is also the lightest metal.

Conclussion: It turned out really well and is still hanging up on the wall withought falling off, I also learnt alot about atoms and about the periodic table.
