This interactive science module introduces students to the basic structure of matter, including atoms, ions, elements, and molecules. Animations and simulations help learners to visualize atomic/molecular structure and build a foundation to understand electron sharing. Real data from plasma physics research can be used to further explore the basic properties of matter. Students will apply their learning in a density lab where they predict and test which objects sink and which float.
This resource is part of the Interactive Plasma Physics Education Experience (IPPEX), a project developed to allow students and teachers to participate remotely in scientific research at the nation's largest fusion energy laboratory. See Related Items for a link to the IPPEX home page. Please note that this resource requires Shockwave.

Topic: Particles and Interactions and the Standard Model
Unit Title: Matter and Interactions This animated tutorial does an solid job of helping beginners visualize the structure of an atom. They will explore the atomic nucleus, the electron cloud, ions, and isotopes. It gives students a good foundation to understand how electrons are shared to form molecules. **NOTE: Requires Shockwave to operate. Allow one class period in computer lab. Link to Unit:
