Reseaching the Atomic Theory

Personally, I enjoy a good challenge- and I also like to challenge each student! Which is exactly what I did yesterday.  The students were given a scientist, directions for their research, model building supplies and not much else. I wanted to see what kinds of things they would and could create!

For those of you interested here is an outline for their assignment:
Students were given a scientist who has had an impact on the atomic theory- they had to find...
1. Nationality of scientist
2. Describe the scientist impact on atomic model 
3. What atomic model did their scientist develop?
4. A drawing of the atomic model developed by their scientist.
5. A 3-D atomic model developed by their scientist. 

But here is the challenging part..... they only had ONE day in class to complete all the work.  I was REALLY impressed with how hard everyone worked.  

Today, the students are going to present their atomic models and scientist.  I will post pictures of their creations! You will be impressed! They did great!

Happy Learning!
