Interactive Atom Set
Product Code : EL-AS-11137
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Quick answer: A grades 9 to 12 tactile atom set developed for visually impaired students, with subatomic particles moulded so their charge can be felt and orbitals as raised rings. Supplied with 30 electrons, 30 neutrons and 30 protons; supports one group of 3 to 4 students.
This set is designed so that atomic structure can be read by touch as well as by sight, and the design is thought through rather than merely tactile. Each subatomic particle is moulded with its charge on top, a plus for protons, a minus for electrons and a flat surface for neutrons, so the three are distinguishable by fingertip alone. Orbitals are represented as raised rings around the nucleus, so shell structure is also felt rather than seen.
That makes it genuinely usable by a visually impaired student working alongside the rest of a class on the same task, rather than on a separate adapted exercise. It is equally clear visually, so one set serves everyone.
Students build atoms, ions and isotopes using the 30 electrons, 30 neutrons and 30 protons provided, working on both the container lid and the bottom, which gives two work surfaces from one piece of equipment. The activity reinforces atomic number, atomic mass, the filling order of orbitals and ionic charge.
The container is 9 inches in diameter by 1-1/2 inches high, and one set accommodates a group of 3 to 4 students, so order against group count rather than class size. Specified for grades 9 to 12. The particle dimensions and materials are not published.
