scientists and atomic
models chosen
Has no events on the timeline 0 pts There is no timeline that helps make sense of events. It is clear there is little to no understanding of events; most of the information is clearly copied from the Internet or books. Scientists, models, and events are not linked. There is no evidence of comprehension or understanding. 4 pt

There is a timeline, but the timeline shows no scale. There is a timeline, with an effort made to scale the time but it’s not totally accurate. There has been a small effort made to paraphrase information from the research, but it is unclear whether or not the material was understood. At least 6 scientists, events, and models are clearly defined. Demonstrates some understandings of atomic contributions. Contains thorough
pictures and explanations
of the significant
contributions and
experiments of the
scientists and atomic
models chosen
Has at least 12 events on the timeline 10 pts
There is a scaled timeline.
There has been an effort to paraphrase and present material in a unique way. The material has been presented in a unique way that shows that the student have a clear understanding of the material. At least 8 scientist, events, and 3 models are clearly defined. Understanding of atomic contributions is adequate. All scientists, events, and models are clearly defined. There is a clear understanding of atomic contributions. 0 pts 1 pt

Sloppy, smudge marks, glue oozing out, crooked lines, poor handwriting etc…not much effort made to keep things neat. It is not very pleasing to look at. This is a very basic timeline set up. A few sloppy places could have been neater with just a bit more care. Neat with maybe one or two little sloppy places. Very neat. Clear effort made to avoid sloppy places. It is not very colorful, neat or organized but it’s OK to look at. This is a nice timeline with some creativity in printing, event placement, or color Pretty nice to look at, maybe one or two unattractive places. This is a pretty creative timeline. It isn’t like all of the others with neat creative elements. Very nice to look at. This is a very creative and unusual. I really haven’t seen too many timelines like this, and the creativity goes beyond just a cool color or picture. 0pts 1pt

No attempt has been made to give credit to the originators of material used in the project. Some attempt has been made to cite one or two items but format is incorrect or reference is not proper. A good attempt has been made to cite all items. Sources are adequate. One or two flaws in APA citation format. All items are referenced and a bibliography is included. Proper APA format is followed. 6
Atomic Structure ‐Content Elaboration Key Scientists/Philosophers Key Dates Democritis ~400 BC (5th Century BC) John Dalton 1803, 1805, 1808 Henri Becquerel JJ Thomson 1896 1897 Ernest Rutherford 1911 Marie Curie 1898 Robert Millikan 1909 Neils Bohr 1922 Louis deBroglie 1923 Werner Heisenberg 1927 Erwin Schrodinger 1930 James Chadwick 1932 Contributions • Atomos –indivisible
• First to identify possibility of atom
• Father of modern atomic theory
• Five parts to theory
• Includes elements are composed of atoms
• Also includes element’s atoms are identical in mass
• Chemical spontaneously decompose
• Discovered electron
• Described the nature of cathode rays
• Plum Pudding model of atom
• Gold foil experiment
• Atom has small positive nucleus, remainder is empty
space
• Predicted existence of neutrons
• Studied uranium and thorium
• Coined term “radioactivity”
• Measured charge of the electron
• Oil drop experiment
• Completed with Thomson
• Planetary model of atom
• Electrons travel in specified energy levels
• Spectrum lines produced when electrons move
• Electrons have properties of both waves and
particles
• Group of waves named after scientist
• “uncertainty principle”
• Impossible to determine the position and the
momentum of a particle at the same time
• “cloud” model aka quantum mechanical model
• Showed mathematically that waves can be used to
describe electrons in atoms
• Determined probability of electrons in atoms
• Helped with the development of the nuclear model
• Discovered neutron
The following poster has strengths (ex: good scale, creative experimental additions) and weaknesses (ex:
doesn't have all of the required models) please use it only as a reference and remember pg 128 in your text
