Atomic Theory Timeline Project You will create a timeline of the historical development of the Atomic Theory. You will need two pictures for each scientist listed below. The first picture can be of the person or anything related to the scientist, while the second picture will be of the accepted pictorial of the atom at the time of the discovery and/or relate to the discovery. Each of the following scientists and their contribution must be included: o Plato o Sir Earnest Rutherford o Democritus o Neils Bohr o Antoine Lavoisier o Sir James Chadwick o John Dalton o Erwin Schrödinger o Sir JJ Thompson o Wolfgang Pauli o Robert Millikan o Friedrich Hund You will need to include the following pictorial models of the atom and place each with the correct scientist: o Indivisible, solid sphere model o Electron cloud model o Planetary or solar system model o Plum (raisin) pudding model o Rutherford’s nuclear model Be chronological in its sequence, with dates clearly shown Contains thorough pictures and/or explanations the significant contributions and experiments of those scientists and atomic models listed above. You may use any resource available to you including, but not limited to your textbook, class notes, class handouts/ppts, Internet, etc. Some recommended websites: o http://atomictimeline.net/index.php o http://www.nobeliefs.com/atom.htm Be neat, legible and eye appealing (use 3-5 colors) Size must be half a poster board Full Name: _____________________________ Period: _______ ATOMIC TIME LINE RUBRIC Criteria Promptness 12 Project submitted on time Scientists All listed scientist included 1 missing scientist 2 missing scientist 3 missing scientist 4 or more missing scientist Pictorial models All required models included (5) 1 of the required models omitted (4) 2 of the required models omitted (3) 3 of the required models omitted (2) 1 or no models included Chronology Time line is chronological and all dates are shown Time line is chronological, some dates are shown Time line is chronological, but no dates are shown Dates are shown, but not chronological Time line not chronological and dates are not shown Scientific contributions Contains thorough pictures and explanations of the significant contributions and experiments of the scientists and atomic models chosen Project is neat and writing is legible with no grammatical or typographical errors Project uses at least 5 colors Contains thorough pictures or explanations of the significant contributions and experiments of the scientists and atomic models chosen Project is neat and writing is legible with few grammatical or typographical errors Project uses at least 4 colors Contains somewhat thorough pictures and/or explanations of the significant contributions and experiments of the scientist and atomic models chosen Project is not neat, but writing is legible with no grammatical or typographical errors Contains vague pictures and explanations of the significant contributions and experiments of the scientists and atomic models chosen Project is not neat, but writing is legible with few grammatical or typographical errors Project uses 2 colors or less.
