Chemistry Atomic Structure PNE Dots and Boxes Partner Activity
Students can engage with each other in a fun game of dots and boxes while determining protons, neutrons and electrons. Students will determine the number of protons, neutrons, or electrons for neutral atoms.
Here's how to play PNE dots and boxes:
students take turns drawing horizontal and vertical lines between adjacent dots
when a student draws a 4th line and closes the box, they add their initials or color in the box
the student determines the number of protons, neutrons or electrons as indicated in the box
the answer to the box will be how many points the student earns for that box
the student who closed the box gets to draw another line
players continue taking turns until all boxes are closed and claimed
the player with the highest total points will win the game!
This resource includes:
dots & boxes game board with 20 problems
blank student worksheet for scratch work
student tally sheets to keep track of points
answer key
