Science Act 1 To 7 Grade8

This document provides instructions for an activity comparing the masses of subatomic particles. Students are asked to arrange protons, neutrons, and electrons in order of increasing mass using data from a table. They then create a bar graph and pie chart representing the mass relationships. Finally, students are prompted to indicate how many electrons would balance a seesaw with one proton and to identify which particle(s) make up most of an atom's mass. The activity focuses on visually illustrating and comparing the relative masses of fundamental subatomic particles.

Activity 7
The big difference

Materials Needed:
pencil/pen

crayons or colored pencils

Procedure:
1. Refer to the masses of the subatomic particles in Table 2. Arrange the subatomic
particles in increasing mass.
Q1. Which subatomic particle is the lightest?

_____________________________________________________
Q2. Which subatomic particle is the heaviest?

_____________________________________________________
Q3. Which subatomic particles have almost the same mass?

_____________________________________________________
2. Show a comparison of the masses of the three subatomic particles using a bar
graph. Refer to Figure 2 in the next page, assuming that the first bar represents the
mass of the proton; draw the bars to represent the masses of the neutron and the
electron. Take note that the masses are expressed in the -28 exponent.
3. This time, using a pie chart, show the proportion of the masses of the subatomic
particles for an atom composed of only 1 proton, 1 neutron and 1 electron.
4. A seesaw can show a comparison between two masses of an
object. A seesaw goes up and down depending on the mass it
carries on each side.
Q5. How many electrons should be placed on one side of the
seesaw to balance it if the other side has 1 proton on it, like the one shown below?
Write the number on the space provided in the illustration below.

____

5. Take a look again at the different visual representations you have made.

Q6. Which subatomic particle/s make/s up most of the mass of the atom?
