Cool project! The basic structure of an atom is that it has little things called neutrons and protons that are stuck together in a ball (called a nucleus) in the middle, with electrons in a bigger fuzzy ball around that. Neutrons and protons are about the same size, and electrons are much much much smaller. You can use different colors to show which are neutrons, protons, or electrons. Neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. If a neutral atom loses or gains some electrons it is called an ion. Atoms also tend to have similar numbers of neutrons and protons, though the trend is for heavier atoms to have have more neutrons than protons. A normal gold atom, for example, has 79 protons and 118 neutrons.

An interesting fact is that although the "cloud" of electrons that surround the nucleus is much much much bigger than the nucleus itself, most of the mass of the atom (more than 99%) is due to the nucleus.

The number of protons that an atom has is called its atomic number. For example, Hydrogen has one proton so its atomic number is 1. Some other elements are Helium (2), Lithium (3), Beryllium (4), Boron (5), Carbon (6), Nitrogen (7), and Oxygen (8). So far, scientists have discovered elements with atomic numbers of even more than 100! For more information on different elements, check out this . You can click on any element to find information about it, and the atomic numbers are listed on the table itself, so they're easy to find.

As for what to build your atom out of, be creative!
