Key Questions• What are atoms and
how are they put together?• What does atomic
structure have to do with the periodic table?

Subatomic Particles
•What three basic particles make up all atoms?
![Page 8: Fun with Atoms: Atom Building Game](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568165f0550346895dd91809/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Subatomic Particles
•Protons•Neutrons•Electrons
![Page 9: Fun with Atoms: Atom Building Game](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568165f0550346895dd91809/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Subatomic Particles
•The marbles represent these particles. Can you guess which marble represents which particle?

Subatomic Particles
•Now see if you can determine which are protons and which are neutrons:

• Several groups build an atom with:
Building Atoms• Group 1:
7 blues, 6 reds, 6 yellows• Group 2:
15 yellows, 16 blues, 15 reds• Group 3:
8 yellows, 8 reds, and 9 blues
![Page 12: Fun with Atoms: Atom Building Game](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568165f0550346895dd91809/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The game of Atomic Challenge• 4 players or teams per board• Each player starts with 6 blues, 5 reds, and 5 yellows in their board pocket.• Each player takes turns adding marbles to the atom (up to 5 per turn) to make real, stable atoms.• The first player to lose all their marbles wins!!!

Atom Building Reminders
![Page 14: Fun with Atoms: Atom Building Game](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568165f0550346895dd91809/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Building Atoms using Nuclear Particle Cards
• Each player starts with 7 of each color in the board pocket.
• 4 players or teams per board• Shuffle cards and deal 5 per player• On each turn, play a card and add or
take particles as the card instructs• On some turns you will score points; on
other turns you will not (you may be blocking an opponent)
![Page 15: Fun with Atoms: Atom Building Game](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568165f0550346895dd91809/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Scoring Points: If your move…• Creates or leaves a stable nucleus, you score 1 point• Creates or leaves a neutral atom, you score 1 point• Creates a perfect, neutral atom with a stable nucleus, you score 3 points• First person to 15 points wins!

Light and the Atom
Atoms absorb and then emit energy with their electrons When the energy emitted falls within the visible spectrum we see it as light

Laser LightAn Acronym - Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation MonochromaticIn-PhaseCoherentMany Uses
![Page 18: Fun with Atoms: Atom Building Game](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568165f0550346895dd91809/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The game of Photons & Lasers• Teaches players about how light is
absorbed and emitted from atoms• The objective of the game is to score
points by stimulating excited electrons to lase, emitting photons of light
• Players play pump cards to excite the atom by moving electrons up energy levels
• Players score points by playing lase cards and moving electrons back down energy levels
![Page 19: Fun with Atoms: Atom Building Game](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568165f0550346895dd91809/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Setting Up Photons & Lasers
• To begin, the atom should be set up for a specific element
• Neon 20 is a good choice with 10 each of protons, neutrons, and electrons
• The electrons should all start in the lowest possible levels – the ground state
• Each player is dealt 5 cards from the shuffled deck of Photon & Lasers cards
• Play consists of moving electrons up and down energy levels, the nucleus remains unchanged.
![Page 20: Fun with Atoms: Atom Building Game](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568165f0550346895dd91809/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pump Cards• Pump cards represent photons of
light absorbed by the atom• An absorbed photon raises a
single electron the number of energy levels corresponding to the energy (color) of the photon shown on the card• No points are scored with pump
cards, but the atom is raised to an excited state which can later be used to earn points by playing laser cards.
![Page 21: Fun with Atoms: Atom Building Game](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568165f0550346895dd91809/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Laser Cards• Laser cards represent the emission of light from the atom, matching the energy (color) of the stimulating photon• Playing a laser card allows the player to move as many electrons as possible down the number of energy levels specified on the card• When electrons move down energy levels points are scored!
![Page 22: Fun with Atoms: Atom Building Game](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568165f0550346895dd91809/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Scoring Points• In any given turn electrons may be
moved from one level only and only to unfilled states in the appropriate lower level
• The total number of electrons moved down (lased) multiplied by the number of energy levels indicated on the laser card equals the points for that turn
• 1 electron moved 2 levels = 1 x 2 = 2 points
• 3 electrons moved 2 levels = 3 x 2 = 6 points
• 4 electrons moved 3 levels = 4 x 3 = 12 points
