Activity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Isotopes and Atomic Mass - Mixtures

Create your own mixture of isotopes and compare it to nature's mixture of isotopes. Investigate how average atomic mass is calculated, and discover how abundance relates to the average atomic mass of an element. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Isotopes and Atomic Mass - Isotopes

Are all atoms of an element the same? How can you tell one isotope from another? Build isotopes and discover the atomic mass, mass number, and relative abundance of the isotope. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 3: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Build an Atom - Intro (Simulation)

Build an atom out of protons, neutrons, and electrons! Discover how the element, net charge, and mass number relate to the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. See if the atom you've created is stable or unstable. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 4: Question Game. Estimated duration: 15 min

Tower Puzzle: Atoms and Elements (Mid)

Put your thinking caps on and get ready for some rapid-fire questions about atoms, elements, and the properties of the periodic table. The more questions you get right the more chances you have to solve the tower puzzle. You need to disassemble the tower quickly while the ball falls to the platform! Learn about atomic structure while working through this fun puzzle.

Activity 5: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Build an Atom - Game

Play a game to test your ideas about atoms! Challenge yourself to identify elements, determine the mass number or charge, create the atomic symbol, or build an atom. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Activity 6: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 15 min

Ms. Rose & Atoms and Elements!

Do you know what the periodic table of elements is? No, it's not a table that disappears and then re-appears periodically! In this game, you will be given information about atoms, elements, and how the periodic table was created. Earn badges as you advance through Mrs. Rose's lessons on the atom. It will prepare you for building your own atoms. Good luck!
