The Incredible Edible Atom
Project
Due: Tuesday, 11-19-13
Incredible Edible Atom Project
You will create two products for this project:
1. An atomic model made of edible objects
2. A summary of the atom you create
Atomic ModelYou will build an edible atom based on the element you are assigned
Requirements:• all protons, neutrons, and electrons must be made of
food
• materials holding up your atom do not have to be edible (you can use string, wire, plastic, wood, etc.)
• protons, neutrons, and electrons must be proportional to each other
• use cheap food/candy (this assignment is not encouraging food or money waste)
• Your name must be applied somewhere on the model
Details on Atomic Model
Proton or Neutron
Pay Attention to Scale – make sure subatomic particles are proportional to each other
Example – protons and neutrons are much larger than electrons. So if you’re using a cookie and which should be which?
Electron
What about an orange and a blueberry?
Atom Models
It’s likely that you will need to use glue to attach items and models will be handled by multiple hands, so please …….
Don’t eat your model
What materials will you use to create your edible atomic model?
Written Summary of Atomic Model • should be approximately 75 words (about 1 page)• should be in complete sentences• should include:
o where on the periodic table is your atom found (ex. metals, metalloids, non-metals, noble gases)
o the properties of your elemento The products in which it is found
• What else should be included?• atomic name• symbol• atomic number• atomic weight• # of electrons• # of protons• # of neutrons
Summary of Atomic Model
Summary includes a description of the following for your atom:
Element Name 3 points
Symbol 3 points
Atomic Number 3 points
Atomic Mass 3 points
How many electron, protons and neutrons does your atom have?
3 points
How many electron, protons and neutrons does your atom have?
3 points
Where is your atom located on the periodic table? 4 points
What are the properties of your element? (chemical & physical) 4 points
Summary is complete and thoroughly describes the structure of an atom
4 points
Rubric for Summary of Model
Edible Atomic Model
Electrons, Protons, and Neutrons are:
Present 3 points
Made of food 3 points
Proportional 3 points
Correct Amount 3 points
Electrons are arranged in the correct energy levels 3 points
Model is neat and well constructed 3 points
Your name is on the model 1 point
