The "Build an Atom" interactive module from ORISE's Harnessed Atom curriculum offers a dynamic, student-centered experience for middle school science classes. In this activity, students construct virtual atoms by adding protons, neutrons, and electrons, using the Periodic Table to guide their choices and observing how these changes affect the element's identity, atomic mass, and charge. Designed to reinforce the idea that matter is made of atoms, the tool helps students understand atomic structure, isotopes, and how the Periodic Table organizes elements. It's an ideal hands-on resource for exploring core chemistry concepts through inquiry and interactive learning.
tag(s): atoms (46), periodic table (46)
In the Classroom
Provide colored balls, stickers, or beads representing protons, neutrons, and electrons, and have students work in small teams to physically construct atom models based on chosen elements from the Periodic Table. Use the PhET "Build an Atom" simulation to let students manipulate protons, neutrons, and electrons. Have students choose an element and research a common isotope of that element. They can prepare a creative presentation such as a comic strip using Write Comics reviewed here or a poster explaining its atomic structure, real-world uses, and why isotopes are essential in fields like medicine or archaeology.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Challenge students to explore a PhET simulation related to a current science topic, such as circuits, gravity, or states of matter. They can make predictions before interacting with the simulation and record their observations to compare with their initial ideas. Give students a scavenger hunt worksheet with specific challenges to complete in a simulation (ex., "Find a way to make a circuit light up" in the Circuit Construction Kit). Students design a virtual experiment using a PhET simulation. They choose a variable to change, make a hypothesis, run multiple trials, and record their results in a data table or graph before sharing their findings. After using a PhET simulation, students discuss or write about real-world applications of what they learned (how forces affect roller coasters, how molecules move in different states of matter) and present their findings using Visme, reviewed here or Google Slides, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
After watching an episode, have students design experiments based on chemical reactions or states of matter. Give students an element from the periodic table to research, focusing on its properties and uses. Create a scavenger hunt where students find elements that align with specific properties or uses. Use models or online tools to help students build and visualize different molecules. Assign students to practice balancing chemical equations after lessons on stoichiometry.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
