How Do You Make A 3D Model Of An Atom?
Building 3D models is a common activity in science class. The 3D models give kids a better understanding of how various scientific elements work and look. A 3D atom model is simple to make and requires only a few supplies. The main components of atoms are protons, neutrons and electrons. The nucleus is made up of the protons and neutrons. Color-coding the components of the atoms in the model helps easily identify them for a better understanding of the atom’s construction. Choose three different colors of paint for the balls. The colors will represent protons, neutrons and electrons. Decide which color you want to paint each component. Press a toothpick into each Styrofoam ball to create a handle for painting. This allows you to paint the entire ball at once. Paint six of the balls one color (to create proton models), six balls the second color (for the neutron models) and the last six balls the third color (for the electron models), holding onto the toothpicks as you paint. Press the o
