Wednesday and Thursday of this week we will be continuing our study of atomic structure by creating models of atoms using fruit flavored cereal. If you are able, please help us complete this activity by sending to school any kind of circular, multi-colored cereal and or paper grocery bags. We will use the paper grocery bags as our background and the cereal will represent the sub-atomic particles. Glue will be provided, but it may be helpful for students to bring their own small bottle of glue.
In preparation for this activity, ask your child to review the procedures for determining the proper placement of electrons in their probability shells. They should consult their notes and examples we completed in class. Thank you for your support.
