ATOMIC THEORY
Over time, many scientists have collaborated and devised clever experiments to develop the atomic model that we use today.
Let's watch the videos below to learn more about this journey of knowledge and who was involved..
ATOMIC THEORY
We will be investigating each atomic theory, and theorist, closely.
Atom Models
ATOMIC THEORIES WTIH FOOD!
CHALLENGE!
What to achieve:
Use food and the Atomic Model Draw Template provided to create a model of the atom developed by each scientist across time.
What you need:
Democritus: Mintie wrapper, scissors
Dalton: 3 M&Ms of same colour
Thomson : Choc chip cookie
Rutherford :
Rutherford/Chadwick: Mini M&Ms of three colours
Rutherford Bohr: Mini M&Ms of three colours.
How to do it:
Over to you!
ATOMIC THEORIES WITH FOOD!
What to achieve:
Use food and the A3 Atomic Model Draw Template provided to create a model of the atom developed by each scientist across time.
How to do it:
Democritus: Mintie wrapper, scissors. Cut the wrapper in half. Glue one half on the circle. Cut the second half in half. Glue one half on the circle. Keep going until you can't cut any further. Label this piece "atomos".
Dalton: 3 M&Ms of same colour. Spread the M&Ms across the circle and glue them.
Thomson: Choc chip cookie. Glue the cookie on the circle.
Rutherford - Put a single M&M of one colour in the centre and several M&Ms of a second colour around the edge.
Bohr-Rutherford: Mini M&Ms three each of two colours. Place three of one colour in the centre and three of the second colour on the outside in two rings 2.1.
Bohr-Rutherford-Chadwick: Mini M&Ms - three each of three colours. Place three of two colours in the centre and three of the third colour on the outside in two rings 2.1.
