Explore the Atoms Family in Matterville
In the whimsical world of Matterville, meet the Atoms Family - Patty Proton, Nelda Neutron, and Elliott Electron. Patty is positive and cheerful, Nelda is neutral and apathetic, while Elliott is negative and full of anger. Their interactions and dynamics at the Nucleus Arcade showcase basic atomic concepts in a fun and engaging way. However, a kidnapping of one Electron could disrupt the balance and morale of Matterville. Dive into this educational yet entertaining story of atomic elements!

The Atoms Family The Atoms Family The Atoms Family was created by Kathleen Crawford, 1994 Presentation developed by Tracy Tripe, 2006, http://sciencespot.net/
The Atoms Family Story In the center of Matterville, there is a place called the Nucleus Arcade, where two members of the Atoms Family like to hang out. Perky Patty Proton, like her sisters, is quite large with a huge smile and eyes that sparkle (+). Patty is always happy and has a very positive personality. Name: Patty Proton Description: Positive Favorite Activity: Hanging out at the Nucleus Arcade
Nerdy Nelda Neutron is large like Patty, but she has a boring, flat mouth and eyes with zero expression (o). Her family is very apathetic and neutral about everything. Patty, Nelda, and their sisters spend all their time at the arcade. Name: Nelda Neutron Description: Neutral Favorite Activity: Hanging out at the Nucleus Arcade
Another Atoms Family member, Enraged Elliott Electron races madly around the Arcade on his bright, shiny red chrome-plated Harley-Davidson. He rides so fast that no one can be sure where he is at any time. Elliott is much smaller than Patty and Nelda and he is always angry because these bigger relatives will not let him in the Arcade. He has a frown on his face, eyes that are squinted with anger, and a very negative (-) attitude. Name: Elliott Electron Description: Negative Favorite Activity: Racing around the arcade
Matterville Energy Freeway Energy Highway Nucleus Arcade Patty Nelda Energy Super Highway
The first energy street can only hold only two Electron brothers. The second energy street, called the Energy Freeway, can hold 8 brothers. The third energy street, called the Energy Superhighway, can hold 18 of the brothers. Matterville Energy Superhighway Can hold 18 electrons- It has 3 lanes Energy Freeway Can hold 8 electrons Nucleus Arcade Contains protons & neutrons Energy Street Can hold 2 electrons
Nucleus Arcade Patty Nelda
The morale of Matterville is stable as long as each negative Electron brother is balanced out by one positive Proton sister. The number of residents in Matterville depends on the Proton and Neutron families. Challenge: What would happen to the morale of Matterville if one Elliott Electron was kidnapped?
Elliot Positive atom Nucleus Arcade Patty Nelda + ion
Challenge 2: What would happen to the morale (charge) of Matterville if one Elliott Electron moved to Matterville?
Negative atom Nucleus Arcade Patty Nelda - ion
1st Verse: They re tiny and they re teeny, Much smaller than a beany, They never can be seeny, The Atoms Family. Chorus 3rd Verse: Neutrons can be found, Where protons hang around; Electrons they surround The Atoms Family.
