Mrs. Wimer assigned a project for us to bulid a model of and resaerch an element from the periodic table. I chose the element magnesium. Magnesium has 12 protons, 12 electrons, and 12 neutrons. I made the model by spray-painting a box black. Then I made my model using aluminum jewelry wire (bad, I know for a magnesium model) red plastic beads, black plastic beads, slightly smaller blue wood beads, black string, and hot glue. I typed up my research and printed it with red ink so it would stand out against the black. I got a 49 out of 50 points because I didn't cite my references in "MLA format." But whatever... I'm proud of it!!!
