<p> CHEMISTRY ATOMIC MODEL TIMELINE Due: October 3rd </p><p>Introduction: The atomic theory of matter is an excellent illustration of the process of science. Our understanding of the world around us is reshaped and refined with each scientific experiment. The first recorded idea of the atom comes from the ancient Greeks in the 400’s B.C. Over the millennia, scientific experimentation has added to our knowledge of the atom, redefining what it is and what its structure is like. In this project, your goal will be to learn about some of the highlights in the history of atomic theory to gain an appreciation of how we know what we know about atoms.</p><p>Objective: The student chemist will 1. Research scientists and experiments that made milestone contributions to the development of the nuclear model of the atom; 2. Link the development of the atomic model with relevant events in world history (historical events that occurred at the same time as the atomic model development); and 3. Create an informative project which includes the atomic model development and the historical event.</p><p>Research/Process Task 1: Task 1 involves research. Listed below are 15 scientists who contributed to our current understanding of the atom. You will need to find out who these people were and what they contributed to atomic theory. Then complete 1 research article critique on a major scientist/philosopher that contributed to the development of the atomic theory/model and at least one world/historical event that occurred at roughly the same time a particular contribution was made.</p><p>Democritus Antoine Lavoisier John Dalton J. J. Thomson Ernest Rutherford Robert Millikan Marie Curie James Chadwick Max Planck Albert Einstein Niels Bohr Arnold Sommerfeld Louis De Broglie Erwin Schrodinger Werner Heisenber</p><p>Cite Your Sources! You must hand in a bibliography with your project. This must be in proper works cited/bibliography format. (See the example shown below.) There are lots of websites that can help you make a correctly formatted citation. One good one is ht t p: / /ww w . ea s y bib.c o m/ Sample Citation (for an online source): "A Science Odyssey: You Try It: Atom Builder." PBS. PBS, 1998.

If you search on the web for information, you might include searches about history of atomic theory, or “Niels Bohr atomic theory” to help get less broad results. You can of course get good information by searching each name as well, but don’t forget to find out about contributions to atomic theory. Your textbook also has useful information about some of these scientists.</p><p>Here are a few useful websites to get things going. ht t p: / /ww w .pbs.or g / w g b h/aso/t r y i t /atom/ - scroll down to the bottom for links to scientists htt p:/ /www.ausetute.com.au/atom ichist.htm l ht t p: / /ch e m i st r y .l e a rnhu b . c om / lesson/366 3 - his t o r y - o f- the - a to m ic - theo r y - i - a n c ient - t i mes ht t p: / /ch e m i st r y .l e a rnhu b . c om / lesson/368 7 - his t o r y - o f- the - a to m ic - theo r y - p a rt - 3 ht t p: / /ww w .vis i onle a rnin g . c om / l i b r a r y / m odule_v i e w e r.php?mid=50</p><p>Task 2: This task involves turning your research into an interesting and informative project. This is the part where you use the information, making sure to avoid plagiarism by putting things into your own words. The type of project you will complete is called a RAFT (R = role, A = audience, F = Format, T = Topic). You choose one horizontal row from the choices below to complete. If you don’t see any options that appeal to you, talk to your teacher about designing your own. (A self-designed option must be approved by your teacher.)

Make sure your writing is interesting; your reader shouldn’t want to put the newspaper down after the first few sentences. Make sure to use newspaper article format and be creative. (Read a science article perhaps for a better understanding of this.) Try Fodey.com, http://www.the-digital-reader.com/2010/09/13/10-sites-for-creating-digital- newspapers/</p><p>Timelin e s – Your timeline should be visually attractive and include pictures of each scientist as well as descriptions of their contributions to atomic theory. Organization and attractive layout are key. Student cannot use power point. Try prezi.com, glogster.com, animotot.com, etc G ra phic N o v e l – You should write an illustrated story. Don’t forget a cover with the title of your novel. Remember, you need to make an interesting narrative that students would like to read that still includes all the required content. Turn your research into a story! Can be fictional but must include facts in history.</p><p>Role P la y i n g – Take on the role as a director by writing and performing the history of the development of the atom. You will present your performance of the scientific discovery to the class. Be creative and fully take on the roles you have chosen. Presentation can be videotaped. Limit the performance to 3-5 minutes and turn in a bibliography with the sources you used to research your scientist(s).</p><p>Applications: You may choose any of the multimedia formats below for your delivery of your timeline: Prezi, animoto, glogster, movie, etc. **if you would like to use any other format you must get the teachers permission**</p><p>The students will be given time in class(only 1 class period) to work on the timeline project. If the student fails to complete the timeline during class time, the student is responsible for finding time to do research and finish the project outside of class.</p><p>Grading: Students will be marked on the accuracy of their information according to the rubric given.
