Let’s learn about atoms!

 

The following sites provide you the chance to explore the fantastic exhibits without leaving the room!  Sit back, relax, and get ready to learn!

 

As we start, it is important to learn the basics of what makes up the world around us!

 

The site includes… 

 

… how in ancient times people thought everything could be broken down into one of the following:                                

 

 


                  

 

                                                … how the structure of the atom evolved

 

 

 

Plus much, much more!!!                                                         Click on the picture to begin your tour!

 

 

Next, let’s learn                                             

 

Information includes descriptions of the main part of the atom, the:

 

 

Protons

Neutrons

Electrons

 

 


Finally, learn                                   about atoms that you can use to amaze your family and friends!

 

 

 

Our next adventure illustrates Pauling’s contributions to atomic structure and bonding.  During this trip we will…

                            

                            

…see how something like this                  can bond with others to make this:

The last (but not least!) trip takes us to                                               where you can learn about how the atom was discovered and the importance of understanding how the radioactivity of the atom is so important!  Learn about:

 


                              famous scientists…        

                                      …and the uses of radioactivity. 

 

 

 

All these sites allow you to explore the structure, importance, and use of atoms in our world.  Enjoy!
