Electrons have to move around the nucleus and I have no idea how i'm going to make them move.

Why does it need to move? It doesn't have a regular orbit (like the planets - so the similarity to a model of the solar system is not necessary).
Remember the orbit of an electron around the nucleus of an atom is a "probability of it's location" at a particular time, that's what the shapes represent.

The Bohr variety of the digital power stages is particular to the hydrogen atom. The Bohr variety can be utilized to any helpful ion that has in basic terms one electron, e.g. He+, Li^2+, Be^3+, etc. The power stages in the ion are the comparable as those in the hydrogen atom, yet multiply them by utilising Z^2, the place Z is the atomic extensive type.

Dr. Dave P is absolutely correct.
If your teacher has assigned you to make a "solar system" model of an atom for class, there is no cheap, easy way to make electrons move. You will have to draw concentric circles on light carboard, glue beans or peas to the circles, and explain separately that they are supposed to move around the circles.
