Wednesday

Today we made atoms. The students were to choose and atom, find out how many protons, neutrons and electrons were in each atom. Then, using pipe cleaners, beads, fruit loops and fishing line, they made atoms. We will be reviewing this process by drawing atoms to reinforce this concept. We also learned that the reason we feel solid things when atoms are mostly empty space is that the electrons from the atoms repel each other. Now that is an interesting scientific theory. Tomorrow Mrs. Bloxham will be presenting a lesson on drug abuse.
