1. The Incredible Edible Atom Project
Due: Tuesday,

2. Incredible Edible Atom Project
You will create two products for this project:
An atomic model made of edible objects
2. A summary of the atom you create

3. Atomic Model Requirements:
You 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

4. Details on Atomic Model
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?
What about an orange and a blueberry?
Proton or Neutron
Electron

5. 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

6. What materials will you use to create your edible atomic model?

7. Written Summary of Atomic Model
should be approximately 75 words (about 1 page)
should be in complete sentences
should include:
where on the periodic table is your atom found (ex. metals, metalloids, non-metals, noble gases)
the properties of your element
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

8. Rubric for Summary of Model
Summary of Atomic Model
Summary includes a description of the following for your atom:
Element Name
3 points
Symbol
Atomic Number
Atomic Mass
How many electron, protons and neutrons does your atom have?
Where is your atom located on the periodic table?
4 points
What are the properties of your element? (chemical & physical)
Summary is complete and thoroughly describes the structure of an atom

9. Rubric for Atomic Model
Edible Atomic Model
Electrons, Protons, and Neutrons are:
Present
3 points
Made of food
Proportional
Correct Amount
Electrons are arranged in the correct energy levels
Model is neat and well constructed
Your name is on the model
1 point
