I am frequently referring to atoms during my science lessons and I wanted a model to use in my lab. I decided to make one! This is a helium atom. (Note: This is not to scale and the protons, electrons, and neutrons are not these colors.)
In just the last few weeks, my students have surprised me with these wonderful gifts- two snake skins, one lizard tail, and a turtle skull. 🙂 I am so pleased that my students are thinking about science when they are away from the classroom!
