Atom Activity Model (Product Code: SLE/CH/04) is a transparent, durable plastic model that lays out the structure of an atom — the nucleus, the protons, neutrons and electrons that make it up, and the electron layers around it — in a clear graphic form. Because it is transparent, teachers can place it on an overhead projector and show the whole class the same diagram while they build up an explanation. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as an atom model kit for chemistry and physical science lessons in India and overseas.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Graphic model of atomic structure |
| Components shown | Nucleus; protons, neutrons and electrons; electron layers |
| Material | Durable plastic, transparent |
| Projection | Suitable for use with an overhead projector |
| Dimensions | 150 mm D x 25 mm H |
| Concepts supported | Atomic numbers, ionic and covalent bonding, electroneutrality, filling of electron layers, definition and calculation of ionic charge |
Teachers typically begin with the nucleus, pointing out protons and neutrons and using the proton count to explain how the atomic number identifies an element, and then move outward through the electron layers so students can see the order in which the layers fill. Comparing the number of electrons with the number of protons demonstrates electroneutrality; discussing what happens when an electron is lost or gained then shows how an ion forms and how its charge is worked out. The same layout supports a comparison of ionic bonding, where electrons are transferred, with covalent bonding, where they are shared.
On an overhead projector the transparent body lets the whole class follow each step, which works well for introducing the topic before students attempt worksheet problems. As a chemistry teaching kit item it also suits small-group revision, where students take turns using the model to explain atoms and ions to each other. Store it flat and clean the plastic with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clear for projection.
The model comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, an Ambala, Haryana company that develops teaching aids and laboratory apparatus. Read our company profile for more.
