In this hands-on activity, students will be able to create an edible model of an atom. While it gets a little messy, it was a great way to get students analyzing the parts of an element square. They were able to determine how many protons, neutrons, and electrons an element had based on the atomic number and atomic mass. Here is the virtual version of this lab for students who were absent / working from home. If you would like to purchase both this Build an Atom: Cookie Lab, and the Build an

This Atoms Bundle includes handouts, notes, practice problems, labs (virtual & hands-on). It covers: What are atoms and what are they made up ofHow to analyze an element square from the periodic table for information about an element's subatomic particlesHow to build an atom using cookies / virtuallyHow to count atoms within a molecule (including subscripts and coefficients)The difference between atoms, ions, and isotopesHow atoms bond: covalent or ionicIf bundles aren't your jam, you can alwa

This Glow Stick Reaction Rate Lab is a great hands-on way to teach students the impact of temperature on reaction rate.
