In week 8, Miss Bor’s and Ms Schiller’s year 9 Science classes created models of atoms using Skittles. By using the colourful lollies to represent the protons, neutrons, and electrons of an atom, students were able to visually demonstrate how the subatomic particles are arranged within the nucleus and electron shells. This hands-on activity helped students understand new concepts in a creative and memorable way. Plus, it's a great opportunity to incorporate some tasty treats into the classroom!
