MS. SMITH'S CLASS

 Atomic Theory Timeline ProjectUsing the information from your textbook, classroom discussion, “Atom” chapter and additional sources you find to construct a timeline of the events that lead to our current understanding of the atom.Required information for each personPerson’s nameYear (of the discovery or the year they lived)Must include answers to the questions below:When did they live? Where did they live?What new information did they contribute to the understanding of the atom?How did they find this new information? (What experiments did they do?)Interesting facts – other accomplishments, personal information, famous historical events at the time, etc.All Projects are due Wednesday January 23 *Students must include their rubric when assignment is turned in order to be on-time.The timeline project should start with the Greek philosophers that you read about in the “Atom” chapter. It may continue up to present day scientist and their experiments and should provide us with additional insight or understanding of the atom.Helpful Sources:Chemistry textbookIn class notes and handoutsOnline sources [search “History of the Atom” or “Atomic Theory History”]People you must research:Required persons and must have their atomic model in presentationDemocritus Antoine Lavoisier John DaltonJ. J. Thomson Ernest Rutherford Robert Millikan Marie Curie James Chadwick Max PlanckAlbert Einstein Niels BohrLouis De Broglie Erwin Schrodinger Werner HeisenbergHelpful hints:If one person had several contributions at different times in history they will count ONLY once for this project. You may have them in your timeline more than once but they will only count once. The project can take MANY different forms. For exampleA photo/scrapbookA blogA flip bookAnimotoPreziGlogsterBe creative, but the scientists MUST be in chronological order.Sources must be sighted, copy and pasting paragraphs of information is plagiarism and students will receive a zero for the assignment. Remember to pick out the most important, unique, and most interesting contribution the people had.All rubrics are due are due on the day assignment is turned in!!! Projects are due Wednesday September 25, 2012.Name ____________________________________ Date _____________ Period ________ Score ________Atomic Theory Time Project RubricSuperbAverageFairPoorScientists(20 points)All 7 scientists who created atomic models for the development of the atom are included with name, year, their philosophy, experiment, model, technological advances, and more information.Less than 7 scientists who created atomic models for the development of the atom are included with name, year, their philosophy, experiment, model, technological advances, and more information.Less than 7 scientists who created atomic models for the development of the atom are included some of the required information.Less than 7 scientists who created atomic models for the development of the atom are did not include name, year, their philosophy, experiment, model, technological advances, and more information.Illustration(10 points)Illustrations for all 5 scientists and most of the people who helped to create the atomic model are includedIllustrations for less than 5 scientists and some of the people who helped to create the atomic model are includedIllustrations for less than 4 scientists and some of the people who helped to create the atomic model are includedNo illustrations are present in the timeline.Creativity (5 points)High level of creativity shown, with a touch of originality Good Level of creativity shown.Fair level of creativity shown.No creativity is provided.Neatness(5 points)Project is very neat and well organized.Project is neat and organized.Project lacks neatness.Project lacks neatness.Timeline Order(5 points)Student used the correct order for their timeline.
