First, we will be investigating the history of atomic structure. Each of you has been assigned to learn about a particular theory that has been used to explain the structure of an atom at some point in time. Once you have become the 'expert' on this theory, you will make a poster and then present it to your class mates. The key points you need to include in your presentation are
:
1. Background information - Who developed this theory? Where and when did they do their research? What was their specialty, field of interest, or profession? Any other interesting facts, accomplishments, etc.
2. The actual model - What did this theory say the atom looked like? Be able to draw a detailed diagram of the model. How was it different from previous models?
3. Supporting evidence (this is the most important part) - Why did they think the atom looked that way? What test or experiment did they do to back up their theory? What observations or measurements did they make?

| Example - This is a poster I made for the Ancient Greek Philosopher's theory about atoms |
Here is the information for each of the theories we will study:
