Matter (the “stuff” of the universe, anything that takes up space* and has mass)

*think “immaterial” that would be a ghost, which takes up no space!

“Atomic Theory” of Matter: Matter is made of atoms

• Intro to Build an Atom Game

To Receive Credit for this Into Project…

__ A. Use information about the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons to

Given the Symbol/Name of one Element on the Periodic Table of Elements between Helium and Neon,

• ___Use Build an Atom to create a Neutral, Stable models of the atoms of those elements

• __ Identify an element and its position on the periodic table

• __ Determine if the model is neutral atom or an ion.

• __Predict how changing the number protons, neutrons, or electrons will change the element, the charge, and the mass of an atom or ion.

__ Extra Credit: On Your Own: __Role the die to get a number between 2 and 10. Using only what you learned from Build An Atom Sim, __ Draw a models that shows correct number, location, and charge of protons, electrons, and neutrons in a neutral stable atom.

• Matter is made up of Atoms
  (Materials with only one kind of atom are called Elements-You can see all the Elements humans have discovered in the Periodic Table of Elements)
• Atoms are made up of
  Protons (+ charge),
  Electrons (– charge), and
  Neutrons (ø charge)

Electro-magnetic Energy can do work (move things over a distance) by pushing or pulling them. Play all levels of the electric hockey game to learn how negative and positively charged particles can be arranged to move matter (the hockey puck).
