Image: Image result for an atom



Summary: This week I learned about atoms and matter. I learned that an atom has a nucleus that's made up of neutrons and protons. Then on the outside there are electrons going around the nucleus this is what makes up an atom. Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the 3 subatomic parts of an atom. A proton has a positive charge, a neutron has a neutral charge, and an electron has a negative charge. Then matter can be anything that takes up space some examples are chairs, tables, marker, a pencil, a computer, etc. I also learned that if there are more protons than nuetrons and electrons then the ion becomes positive. An ion is an atom with an electrical charge.

SP7: Engaging in argument from evidence
In science, reasoning and argument are essential for clarifying strengths and weaknesses of a line of evidence and for identifying the best explanation for a natural phenomenon.

Did you participate in a class discussion providing evidence for your answers, and/or used the ACE strategy in your work?

In class we discussed what matter was and described/said some examples of matter (a classmate or an object in the classroom). We also watched the teacher present a google slide about what made up an atom and in tables we helped each other with google doc questions. In class we also took notes so we could use them in class.
