About this reader
This middle school science passage, 'What Charge Does a Neutron Have?', teaches students about one of the key subatomic particles: the neutron. Students learn that neutrons are found in the nucleus, have no electric charge (they are neutral), and help stabilize the atom by balancing the repelling forces between protons. The passage also explains the differences between neutrons and other particles like protons and electrons. This aligns with NGSS MS-PS1-1, which focuses on the structure and properties of matter, and supports Common Core ELA standards like RI.6.1 and RI.6.4. With 8 multiple choice questions, a fun fact, and clear vocabulary, this passage helps students build a strong understanding of atomic structure and the role of charge in science.
