Lesson 1:
Pudding and Clouds
ChemCatalyst
In the 5th century BCE a Greek
philosopher named Leucippus and his
student, Democritis, stated, “All matter is
made up of particles that can be divided
called atoms.”
• What do you think atoms are?

Unit 1 • Investigation III
The Big Question
• How have chemists thought about the
atom through history?
© 2004 Key Curriculum Press.
Unit 1 • Investigation III
You will be able to:
• Describe some models of an atom and
explain how they differ.
© 2004 Key Curriculum Press.
Unit 1 • Investigation III
Notes
• Atoms are extremely small particles,
which cannot be seen, even with
microscopes.
• All matter is made up of atoms.
• Scientists have created models to
describe atoms. Models are similar to
theories, but often include a picture or
physical representation.

Unit 1 • Investigation III
(cont.)
• When a model is supported by
scientific evidence it is often
accepted by the scientific community.
• Scientific evidence is a collection of
observations that many people have
made. Everyone agrees on the same
collection of observations.
• As new evidence is gathered, models
are refined and changed.

Unit 1 • Investigation III
Activity
Purpose: This lesson will introduce you
to various models for the atom that have
appeared over the past two hundred
years. The descriptions of five models of
the atom are on a separate handout.

Five Models of the Atom

Unit 1 • Investigation III
Making Sense
• Examine the date of the atomic
evidence and then put the five models
in the correct order of their introduction
to the world of science.
© 2004 Key Curriculum Press.
Unit 1 • Investigation III
Notes
• An atom is mostly empty space.
• The rest consists of a nucleus, which
is located in the very center of the
atom, and electrons, which are
located around the nucleus.
• The nucleus is very small (it would be
nothing more than a tiny speck in our
drawings, if we were to draw it to
scale).
(cont.)
© 2004 Key Curriculum Press.
Unit 1 • Investigation III
Notes (cont.)
• The nucleus is also very dense and
consists of two types of particles—
neutrons and protons.
• A neutron is a neutral particle with no
charge on it.
• A proton is a positively charged particle.
• Tightly bound together, neutrons and
protons make a positively charged
nucleus.

Wrap-Up
• All matter is made up of extremely
small particles called atoms. These
