1. Atomic Theory and Structure Project

2. Objective: Science concepts
Objective: Science concepts. The student knows and understands the historical development of atomic theory.

3. The student is expected to:

4. Understand the experimental design and conclusions used in the development of modern atomic theory, including Dalton's Postulates, Thomson's discovery of electron properties, Rutherford's Gold foil experiment, and Bohr's nuclear atom

6. Activity: History of the Atomic Theory

7. Purpose: Create a 8-10 slide power point describing how the atomic theory has changed

8. throughout history. Project due Monday Nov1,2010

9. Materials: Computer, Internet, MS PowerPoint, Useful links on my website

10. Procedure

11. Divide students into 6 groups to research one of the scientists
John Dalton

12. JJ. Thomson

13. Earl Rutherford

14. Neils Bohr

15. Irene Curie
Robert Milkan

16. Research: Collect information about their scientist and their contributions to the atomic theory should include
scientists name

17. scientists background

18. dates of importance related to their scientists contribution to the atomic theory
