40. www.GailLovely.com How to Make an Atom Study Claw… 1.Cut out the Fortune Teller along the outside line (6 or 8 inch square) 2.With the printed side up, fold the square in half horizontally and then vertically, open the folds. 3.Turn the square over. 4.Fold each corner over so they meet in the middle, do not let them overlap. 5.Leave the square folded, and flip the square over. 6.Now fold the corners into the center – make sure they do not overlap. 7.Fold the entire square in half and poke your thumbs and forefingers in under the flaps. 8.Bring your fingers together so the Fortune Teller forms a peak – 9.YOU are ready to label your Study Claw!

41. On each of the outside flaps label: – atom, proton, neutron, electron In the atom section label: – Nucleus, Cloud In the proton section label: – Weight, Charge In the neutron section label: – Weight, Charge In the electron section label: – Weight, Charge Fill in each of the small flaps underneath. Use this to study.
