To build on our understanding of chemistry, today Mrs. Frumovitz taught us about the structure of an atom.  Using Bohr’s model that compares atomic structure to the model of planetary motion, students learned about protons, neutrons, and electrons. The Periodic Table is complex–and often not a topic of study for elementary-aged students, but making a model of an atom helps to explain the basics.  We will be building on this understanding in our next science lab after Spring Break.

Here’s an example of our Bohn models:
