Part 3 Instructions (below) and Grading Rubric (on the back):
-Your completed project should include a chronological arrangement of the following 12 contributors to atomic theory.
-At minimum, for each contributor include the information identified below.
- Integrate the “non-chemistry” events contributed by each group member into your timeline. Assuming there will be some common
events, use this guideline while constructing your final project: When 2 students work together to construct the timeline, include at
least 18 events; and, when there are 3 students, then include at least 22 events. You may include extra if you have extra!
Democritus:
-Approximate date (or date range) and what he’s known for.
John Dalton:
-Approximate date (or date range) and what he’s known for.
-Concisely state each of his “principles”;
-Identify those which we now know were NOT correct, as Dalton originally stated.
JJ Thomson:
-Approximate date (or date range) and what he’s known for.
-Name of his famous experiment; along with an image (or sketch of) his famous experiment.
-Name of his famous model of the atom; along with an image (or sketch of) his famous model.
Robert Millikan: -Approximate date (or date range) and what he’s known for.

James Chadwick: -Approximate date (or date range) and what he’s known for.
Ernest Rutherford: -Approximate date (or date range) and what he’s known for.
