Atomic Structure Project - Humble Independent School District



Atomic Theory and Structure Project

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

The student is expected to:

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

Activity: History of the Atomic Theory

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

throughout history. Project due Monday Nov1,2010

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

Procedure

1. Divide students into 6 groups to research one of the scientists

• John Dalton

• JJ. Thomson

• Earl Rutherford

• Neils Bohr

• Irene Curie

• Robert Milkan

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

• scientists name

• scientists background

• dates of importance related to their scientists contribution to the atomic theory

• description of experimental design to understand the nuclear atom

• procedures involved in the experiment

• data collected

• analysis and conclusions drawn
