ATOMS POSTER PROJECT Decide whether you would like to construct a colored hand-drawn poster or a computer generated poster (using PowerPoint or Publisher software programs). If you choose to construct a computer generated poster, please save the file you create in your documents as Atom Poster Project. Your poster needs a creative and appropriate title. Your poster needs a picture of our current model of the atom. Use GOOGLE IMAGES (keyword example: Structure of an Atom) to help you with this task. Please look for a labeled image that identifies each part of an atom (nucleus, protons, neutrons, and electrons). It is an added bonus if you can find a picture that shows the “electron cloud” (or area of space surrounding the nucleus where electrons exist). Your poster needs profiles of each subatomic particle, which means that you need to identify the location of each subatomic particle (proton, neutron, and electron), their electric charges (positive, negative, or none), and their masses (weights). Your poster needs 3 interesting facts about atoms that are different from the information already on your poster. Need to make the word ATOMS into an acronym. Each letter of the word must represent a characteristic of atoms. The words you choose must begin with letter A, T, O, M, and S. You must include your first and last name written in a corner.
