number, neutron, nucleus, periodic table, proton, radioactive, valence electrons
Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
1.What are some of the different substances
that make up a pizza?
Pizza dough, tomato sauce, cheese, optional
toppings.
2.What substances make up water?Hydrogen, Oxygen.

Elements are pure substances that are made up of one kind of atom. Pizza is not an element because it is a
mixture of many substances. Water is a pure substance, but it contains two kinds of atom: oxygen and
hydrogen. Iron is an element because it is composed of one kind of atom.
Gizmo Warm-up
Atoms are tiny particles of matter that are made up of three particles:
protons, neutrons, and electrons. The Element Builder Gizmo shows
an atom with a single proton. The proton is located in the center of the
atom, called the nucleus.
1.Use the arrow buttons () to add protons, neutrons, and electrons
to the atom. Press Play ().
A.Which particles are located
in the nucleus?
The neutrons
B.Which particles orbit around
the nucleus?
The electrons
C.Turn on Show element
name. What causes the
element name to change?
The number of protons
