Building Atomic Models

Your students will love coloring, cutting out, and assembling these 3D atomic models of all 118 chemical elements to make a beautiful and lasting display for your classroom. Each atomic model comes with it's own information tag including element symbol, properties and uses, atomic number, atomic mass, and much more. From this information tag students determine the number of protons, neutrons, electrons, and the electron configuration for each atomic model. A complete written assembly guide is included as well as an assembly video.

You and your students will love the stunning visual display you will have created with atomic models of all 118 chemical elements hanging from your classroom ceiling. The models will also serve to help students understand the structure of atoms and the relationship between atomic mass and the relative sizes of atoms.

If models in your classroom display should become lost or damaged during summer cleaning, next year’s students will be more than happy to replace them for you!

All templates can be printed on regular 8 1/2 by 11 paper but heavier card stock is highly recommended for a permanent display.

Building Atomic Models is a perfect companion to "Building a Periodic Table" (found in my TES store).
