To have an idea of what atoms are, students can be asked to construct atoms using pipe cleaners (thin metal wires-electron shells), pompoms (balls-different colours for protons and neutrons) and beads (electrons). Students will love and enjoy putting them together and they look great hanging from the ceiling in the classroom.
