In Science class I created this atom. I think an atom looks like this because there are clumps of atoms and there are different kinds of Atoms and each color represents a diffrent kind of atom. I think my atom looks like John Daltons representation of a atom John Daltons atom representation is diffrent shapes and sizes daltons modle was in 1808. An atom itself is made up of three small kinds of particles  protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and the neutrons make up the middle of the atom. The electrons carry a negative charge and the protons carry a positive charge.
