Development of the Atomic Theory Introduction: If you were asked to draw the structure of an atom, what would you draw? Throughout history scientists have accepted five atomic models. Our perception of the atom has changed from the early Greek model because of evidence that has been gathered through scientific experiments. As more evidence was gathered old models were discarded or improved upon. Your goal is to trace the atomic theory through history. Task: 1. You and your partner will search the Internet sources provided to learn more about the scientists and discoveries that have led to our current knowledge of the structure of the atom. 2. Using your research, construct a timeline within a Power Point presentation as a visual representation of the development of modern atomic theory. 3. Describe and find a representative image for the five historical models of the atom - Democritus, Thomson's Plum Pudding, Rutherford, Bohr, and Modern Electron Cloud. Process: You will be assigned 1 partner. Read the entire Web Quest. Read your textbook Chapter 11 Section 1. Use any of the following Web sites to get information about listed scientists and their discoveries that were not in your text. You may search other Web sites on your own or use library resources. Include the following on your timeline: 1. Names of all scientists mentioned in VBO 8.2.1. 8.2.1 - Describe the historical development of the concept of the atom and the periodic table including the contributions of Democritus, Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr, Mendeleev, and Moseley. 2. The year(s) of the scientist’s discovery and/or contribution. 3. In 1-2 sentences tell the importance of the discovery that relates to the structure of the atom or the periodic table (some of these people did many types of research). 4. Include the five historical models of the atom – Democritus, Thomson's Plum Pudding, Rutherford, Bohr, Modern Electron Could model. A timeline is in chronological order – earliest time to latest time.

You can earn extra points by making models to display in the classroom or making a large timeline with pictures of the scientists. See the teacher for details. This assignment will allow you to observe how the Atomic Theory started as a philosophical idea and through quantitative experimentation, has been developed to include the current Electron Cloud Model. You will see that as scientists discovered more and more information they discarded parts of older theories to design an atomic model that provided a more accurate representation of the atom. It is important for scientists to challenge current theories and modify them as more knowledge becomes available. Your research provides you with a historical perspective of our knowledge of the atom's structure.
