Objectives of classroom activity: The timeline for the development of the model of the atom is clearly outlined in many schemes of work, so this activity follows that timeline with the addition of information relating to the development of the periodic table. Students do not necessarily have to know about the existence of atoms, or the atomic model before starting the exercise. Age group KS2 to KS3, there are hint cards for scaffolding (possibly KS4 depending on the group and use of stretch and challenge Qs). The teacher can be more specific with the objectives by using the blank summary sheet at the end. Main objectives are: • Timeline- Model of the atom: Dalton, Thomson, Bohr • Timeline- Periodic table: Mendeleev, idea of atomic number, groups, periods Extensions available for Model of the atom: • Distinguishing between the terms atom, element, compound • Rutherford experiment • Charges of sub-atomic particles • Atomic number • same group = same chemical properties, same element = same atoms Periodic table: • Law of octaves • Significance of predictive nature of periodic table = numeracy = literacy COMPLETED NEWSPAPERS Pεriοdic Τaβlε Gazεττε Ψεar: Αround 400 βC How many years ago is that? Out and about in Ancient Alexandria? Why not join us at a public lecture by Hypatia, the famous female mathematician and philosopher. DEMOCRITUS DECLARES HIS NEW THEORY. Renowned philosopher now says stuff is made of small particles that have different shapes and sizes. He calls these particles, Atomos. Plato, celebrity of ancient Greece, has this to say about the new theory: I don’t think so. Periodic Table Gazette Year: Between 1800 and 1834 Dear Editor, My name is John Jacob Berzelius. I think elements should be given letter symbols. For example, oxygen, would have the symbol O.

How would you describe this model? Coming to showrooms near you, world’s first car. With state of the art gasoline powered engine. Made by Benz. Quiz time! In 1800 there were only 33 known elements. By 1900, this increased to 83. Wow! What percentage increase is that? Year: Between 1909 and 1913 Latest atomic model Elements should be arranged by Atomic Number Henry Moseley, only 24 years old, has given us the final piece of the periodic table puzzle. Elements should be arranged by atomic number. After this discovery, he is off to fight in World War 1. How would Bohr: Not a you describe boring goalie this model? Niels Bohr, scientist and goalkeeper for a Danish team improves on the model of the atom. Electrons are not just whizzing around, they have paths or orbits.

We now know that is not true, but how would you describe water using your scientific knowledge? Stretch and challenge (Year: 1800-1834) Q: Atoms cannot be created or destroyed. What is the difference between atoms, compounds and elements? Stretch and challenge (Year: 1860-1905) Q: What charge do electrons have? Q: Mendeleev is famous for creating the modern Periodic Table. A previous suggestion for how the elements should be organised was called the Law of Octaves, proposed by John Newlands. From the name, can you guess what that meant? Stretch and challenge (Year: 1909-1913) Q: How did Rutherford's experiment (otherwise known as the Geiger–Marsden experiment, the gold leaf, or gold foil experiment) prove the existence of protons in the nucleus? Q: What is the Atomic number of an element? Q: Can you label the parts Bohr’s model of the atom? Stretch and challenge (Year: Today) Q: In honour of Dmitri Mendeleev, the element with atomic number 101 was named Mendelevium. Can you spot elements in your periodic table that are named after other scientists or places? Q: The journey of the periodic table has taken hundreds of year. Why do you think it may have taken so long to discover 118 known elements? As scientists Around the time discovered Mendeleev more about died, scientists atoms, the knew of the atomic model existence of got more and more than 80 more complex.
