Christmas Chemistry Atoms

This Christmas Chemistry Resource set is all about drawing atoms and counting subatomic particles.

The resource includes:

• 20 Atom baubles (first 20 elements: hydrogen to calcium). Students must work out the number of each type of subatomic particle in the atom and write it in the middle of the bauble. They must also draw the electronic structure.

• Instruction sheet (outlining what a student must do with their bauble).

• A subatomic particle information sheet (how to count subatomic particles in atoms using the periodic table).

• A drawing electronic structure information sheet (outlining electron shells and occupancy rules)

This festive resource can be used to make christmas baubles to take home or as a class project e.g. . . . each student finishes their bauble and attaches it to a class christmas tree or a clamp stand full of clamps to resemble a ‘chemistree!’

(Designed to print in A4 with 2 baubles per page)
