Science Atom Model & Reflection

March 19, 2010

My Atom:

Oxygen

Some facts about my Atom:

-       Atomic Mass is 15.999

-       Atomic Symbol is O

-       Belongs to group 16 in the periodic table                                                            

• One thing I learned was
  That Carbon (Green screen) is the 15 most abundant element found in earths crust.

• · The biggest challenge for me on this project was ….
  Was to make my atom the ring part to stay in the same shape and not changing shape. I used aluminum foil. So, the shape is a bit demented.

• · The easiest part was ….

Was making the atom stick together and not fall apart. I used cotton balls.

• · I seeked help/advice from my parents by..

By asking for the materials that I need for the atom model project.

A Quote your teacher…                                                                                                       Page 2

“This project is more about planning, thinking through things well, efficiency and organization – not about building or being an expert on the atom.”

What does this mean to you and how well did you execute this objective?

Well, that you should have good organization. You should finish your project before it’s supposed to be due.

What new lessons will you consider in preparation for your next project? What will you continue to do well and what will you make an effort to change?

That I will have a back-up plan if something goes wrong. Since, my aluminum foil didn’t work out that well. That’s what I think I should do next time.
