Matter;
The Stuff from what all things are made!
What is matter?
What is matter made from?
What are the names of the 4 states of matter (Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma)
How do matter particles change from one state to another?
ATOMIC PARTICLES
What is an atom?
How big are atoms?
What are the parts of an atom?
The pictures below all give us a different view of what an atom is made up of.
The basic parts of an atom are: starting from the centre and working out, the nucleus contains protons and neutrons and around this are the electrons like planets around the sun.

The basic parts of an atom are: starting from the centre and working out, the nucleus contains protons and neutrons and around this are the electrons like planets around the sun.
The protons are positive in charge and in the middle and these are balanced by the electrons which orbit and are negative in charge. These charges are what we associate with electrical energy.
The first model will open on a new page. It is a cartoon character showing the nucleus watching the electron in orbit.
