Description

Students will create a model of an atom based on the Bohr model. They will start by making a paper-plate neon atom. As they finish their paper plate atomic structure, they will ask for another atom to draw. The section of the periodic table that has less than four orbitals is on the next page. They cannot choose neon or magnesium as those are already in the lab.

This product contains three complete, TEKS-aligned labs that are differentiated for all of your students. All labs have comprehension questions, Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (C.E.R.) prompts, and a reflection section.

The Atoms Inquiry Labs have been a hit in my classroom! They’re well-structured and offer hands-on experiences that make learning about atoms both fun and insightful. The labs encourage critical thinking and help students grasp atomic concepts through practical exploration. Easy to set up and manage, these labs have been a valuable addition to my science curriculum. Highly recommend for engaging and effective science instruction!

I love using these labs for my 5th graders. While understanding the concept of atoms was hard, they loved making a model to show the different subatomic parts.
