7. Transfer Goal: Students, on their own, and in the long run, will be able to create 3D models that illustrate and explain atomic structure models in a clear and engaging way, helping promote scientific literacy and spark curiosity about the nature of matter in everyday life. PERFORMANCE TASK: “Atoms Galore — From Dalton to Bohr!”

8. Create a 3D model that illustrates and explains one specific atomic structure model (Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, or Bohr). Your model should clearly show the key components of that Atomic structure. Goal

9. You are a student scientist tasked with helping people understand atomic models. Your job is to design a 3D display that clearly shows how a specific atomic model works and to explain it in a way that makes science fun and easy to learn for everyone—especially those who are new to the topic. Role

10. Your audience includes fair visitors, fellow students, and teachers, who may have little or no background knowledge, so explanations should be clear and engaging. Audience

11. Situation You are preparing for the school Sci-Math Fair, where you will set up an exhibit showcasing your assigned atomic model. Visitors of all ages will come by, eager to learn about the structure of atoms. Your challenge is to create a detailed and creative 3D model that clearly represents your atomic structure, and to explain it in a way that helps everyone understand, even those who are new to science. Your goal is to make your exhibit both informative and engaging so that visitors leave with a better understanding of your atomic model.

12. Construct a 3D model of your assigned atomic structure using materials of your choice. Prepare a clear explanation of the parts of the atom in your model and their significance. Present your model and explanation to visitors at the exhibit. Products

13. Standards Your product will be evaluated based on its: Accurately represent the assigned atomic structure. Label the parts of the model clearly (e.g., electrons, nucleus, atom parts). Include a brief, simple explanation of the atomic model’s main idea. Be creative and visually engaging to attract visitors. Show understanding through your presentation.
