Atomic Structure Project



Atomic Theory and Structure Project

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

Activity: History of the Atomic Theory

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

throughout history. Project due Thursday, 9-11-14 (Presentations will be given on 9-11-14 and 9-15-14) Students who are absent the day of the presentation will be required to submit a minimum of a 7 page research paper on their group’s scientist.

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

• Ernest Rutherford

• Neils Bohr

• Marie and Pierre Curie

• Robert Millikan

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

• Scientist’s name

• Scientist’s background

• dates of importance related to their scientist’s 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

• Students must use a minimum of five sources, with their textbook being one

• ALL sources must be sited in APA format and turned in on paper to Mrs. Roberts
