If you have been looking for a hands-on, interactive way to introduce atoms and subatomic particles to your kids, this is the perfect STEAM/STEM activity. This lesson will allow kids to zoom down to the atom level, learn about atomic particles, and create an interactive atom model.
This lesson will help teach even young kids the basic understanding of electron circling a nucleus, which means that this lesson can be used with mixed ages. Ideally, this activity will be perfect for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade aged kids, and can be used at school or homeschool.
You can purchase the Building Blocks of Life Chart separately here.
