ATOMS VOCABULARY
These vocabulary cards can be used in several different ways.
1. Keep as whole pages for a science reference notebook
2. Cut on dotted lines and fold both ends inward to create a
flashcard with the large word on the front and the image/small
words on the back. Laminate or tape these closed.
3. Cut out all cards – large word, image, small words – and use for
matching.

Building blocks of matter. The
NUCLEUS
The center of an atom,
formed by protons and
neutrons.
PROTON
atom, has a positive charge and is
2000 time the mass of an
electron. The number of protons
equals the atomic number.
