Host: Laura studied at Royal Holloway University of London and the Open University. She is passionate about science communication and has presented talks about Exoplanets at Oxford University and Imperial College London. In this class we will look at the structure of the atom and its subatomic particles.
We will then discuss why atoms have equal numbers of protons and electrons. Finally, students will learn how to calculate relative masses from isotopes.
Safeguarding reminder: We know that the safety of your child is of the utmost importance. This is why we use Zoom's Webinar feature to provide our live classes, where by default, your child's webcam and microphone are disabled.
