Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table
In the center of Matterville, there is a
place called the Nucleus Arcade, Name:
where two members of the Atoms Patty Proton
Family like to hang out. Perky Description:
Patty Proton, like her sisters, is Positive
quite large with a huge smile and Favorite Activity:
eyes that sparkle (+). Patty is always Hanging out at the Nucleus Arcade
happy and has a very positive
personality. Nerdy Nelda Neutron
Name:
is large like Patty, but she has a
Nelda Neutron
boring, flat mouth and eyes with zero
expression (o). Her family is very Description:

everything. Patty, Nelda, and their Favorite Activity:
sisters spend all their time at the Hanging out at the Nucleus Arcade
arcade.
Around the Nucleus Arcade, you will
find a series of roadways that are used
by another member of the Atoms Family,
Enraged Elliott Electron. Elliott races
madly around the Arcade on his bright
red chrome-plated Harley-Davidson. He
rides so fast that no one can be sure
where he is at any time. Elliott is much
smaller than Patty and Nelda and he is
always angry because these bigger
relatives will not let him in the Arcade.
He has a frown on his face, eyes that are
squinted with anger, and a very negative
(-) attitude.

The Atom
Part A: How big is an atom?
Let’s investigate the world of
the very small by cutting a
28 centimeter strip of paper
in half as many times as you
can. If you can cut the strip of
paper in half 31 times you
will end up with a piece of
paper the size of an atom!
Part A: How big is an atom?
What you will do:
• Take your strip of paper and cut it into equal
halves.
• Cut one of the remaining pieces of paper into
equal halves.
• Continue to cut the strip into equal halves as
many times as you can.
• Make all cuts parallel to the first one. When the
width gets longer than the length, you may cut
off the excess, but that does not count as a cut.
Part A: How big is an atom?
How far did you get? _______ cuts
What is that equal to?
Cut 1: Child's hand, pockets
Cut 2: Fingers, ears, toes
Cut 3: Watch, mushroom, eye
Cut 4: Keyboard keys, rings, insects
Cut 6: Poppy seeds
Cut 8: Thread. Congratulations if you’re still in!
Cut 10: Still cutting? Most have quit by now!!
Cut 12: Microscopic range, human hair
Cut 14: Width of paper, microchip components
Cut 18: Water purification openings, bacteria
Cut 19: Visible light waves
Cut 24: Electron microscope range
Cut 31: The size of an Atom!
Here are some comparisons to think about!
Is there anything smaller?
• Yes!! The size of an atom nucleus would take
about 41 cuts!
• Scientists use advanced technology to
explore the world of electrons and quarks
that are at least 9,000 times smaller than a
nucleus.
• We can not see anything smaller than an
atom with our eyes, even with the electron
microscope. Physicists study much smaller
things without seeing them directly.
