Directions:
1. Use the Periodic Table to find the Atomic Number (#) and Mass Units for that element.
2. Calculate the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons for that atom. There is a place to
write these on each slide.
3. You will build a model for 8 elements: Hydrogen, Helium, Beryllium, Carbon, Oxygen,
Neon, Chlorine, and Argon.
4. For each atom, use the mouse to click and slide each subatomic particle into place.
5. When moving the electrons, place the electrons in the first shell first, then the second, etc.
The capacity for each shell is given.
6. You will build each element on a different slide. Each person in your group should build one
atom with the rest of the group assisting
7. Save the show under your student number. (Save as…) Then you can run your show.
8. Now view the Show to see how it works.

Time to start building your models.
• Hit escape to leave “View” mode. You should be in
“edit” mode from this point on, not viewing the
show. When viewing a show, you cannot change any
of the slides.
• If when you get to the model slides, you cannot see
the subatomic particles, from the “View” drop down
menu, hit “Zoom”. Lower the percentage that you
are zoomed into.
