Model Atoms

Aim:
 To make a model atom using classroom resources.

Equipment:
Paper
Tape
Plastic Beads
Blue Tac
String

Method-
-Choose any element  from 1-7 on the periodic table
- Get the right amount of beads with a different colour. They represented the Neutrons & Protons
- Attach the neutrons and proton beads to the blue tac (the right amount for what element you have chosen)
- Attach that to the string, MAKE SURE IT STAYS ON
- Get your piece of paper, cut the need doughnut-shaped (KNOWN AS THE OUTER SHELL) pieces out, if there is two cut one big and one small enough to fit inside the big one.
- Draw how many electrons you need to in each circle for example, in the small circle of-Beryllium would need 2 and 2 in the bigger one.
- Tape your string that is attached to your beads, to the outer shells at the right height so your beads hang in the middle of the smallest shell.

Discussion
I do not have a pic to show you, but I created the hydrogen atom. 
I think I was successful.
