Atom Model
This is a model that teachers can use for students to either draw or use stickers to place protons and ne... (more)utrons into the nucleus and electrons into the appropriate shells. Below the model the shells and subshells are listed for the students to input the electrons.

9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade Science
Alternate Version of Student Guide
I have taken the student guide and altered it to fit my needs. There are some advanced questions added t... (more)o each section, screen snapshots have been added in, and the sections have been rearranged to fit the flow of my course better.

Excellent Gizmo! For both my 9th grade physical science and my 11th grade chemistry. Great practice. Good visual on Hund's rule!

I think this Gizmo is very good for practice in filling in orbital diagrams, writing electron configs, and periodic trends.
