8th Science - We worked on a Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons worksheet.  Also, we sketched the following groups of atoms:


Sketch an atom of Hydrogen.
Sketch an atom of Lithium.
Sketch an atom of Sodium.
Sketch an atom of Potassium.

Sketch an atom of Beryllium.
Sketch an atom of Magnesium.
Sketch an atom of Calcium.
Sketch an atom of Strontium.

Sketch an atom of Boron.
Sketch an atom of Aluminum.

Sketch an atom of Carbon.
Sketch an atom of Silicon.

Sketch an atom of Nitrogen.
Sketch an atom of Phosphorus.

Sketch an atom of Oxygen.
Sketch an atom of Sulfur.

Sketch an atom of Fluorine.
Sketch an atom of Chlorine.

What is the pattern that you notice about where these groups of elements are from?

What is the pattern with how these elements look?

Sketch an atom of Helium.
Sketch an atom of Neon.
Sketch an atom of Argon.
How do you think Krypton will continue the pattern?
