Station 1 - Vocabulary Map Task: Look up the following words in the textbook and complete each portion of the vocab map. Definition: Picture: Negatively charged subatomic particle Electrons found outside the nucleus Varies Sentence: Varies Definition: Picture: Positively charged subatomic particle Proton found inside the nucleus Sentence: Varies Varies Definition: Picture: The central region of the atom, containing Nucleus the protons and neutrons, and making up most of the atoms mass Sentence: Varies Varies Definition: Picture: A subatomic particle with neutral charge Neutron found inside the nucleus Sentence: Varies Varies Station 2 – Mini Lab: Evidence for Atoms (Textbook Resource: Holt Science Spectrum) Task: Complete the following experiment and answer the questions that follow. Materials: Balance, pennies, marbles, 2 cups (labeled “1” and “2”). Each cup contains pennies & marbles in a predetermined amount. The pennies & marbles from each cup should be weighed separately, do not combine the pennies & marbles from Cup 1 with the pennies & marbles from Cup 2. Step 1: Use a balance to find the total mass of the pennies in Cup 1. Mass of pennies (Cup 1) = _varies_ Use a balance to find the total mass of the marbles in Cup 1. Mass of marbles (Cup 1) =__varies_ Step 2: Use a balance to find the total mass of the pennies in Cup 2. Mass of pennies (Cup 2) = _varies__ Use a balance to find the total mass of the marbles in Cup 2. Mass of marbles (Cup 2) =__varies_
the ratio of pennies & marbles is different in each cup, they are not the same compound.
Station 3 – Timeline Research (Textbook Resource: Holt Science Spectrum - pgs 113-129) Task: Research to find the following information. When did Democritus develop his atomic theory? __400 BC____ What did Democritus suggest? He said that all matter is made up of indivisible units called atoms What does the word indivisible mean? _It cannot be divided.___________________ Did everyone support Democritus’s theory? __No_ Why or why not? He did not have evidence When did Dalton develop his atomic theory? __1808________ What did Dalton’s Atomic Theory say? All matter consists of indivisible particles called atoms. Atoms of the same element are similar in shape and mass, but differ from the atoms of other elements. Atoms of same/different elements can combine with each other to form compound atoms. Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that can take part in a chemical reaction. What law is used as evidence to support Dalton’s theory? _Law of definite proportions_____ When did Thomson develop his atomic theory? __1897_______ What instrument did Thomson use to develop his theory? ___cathode ray tube___ How was Thomson’s model different from Dalton’s model of the atom? _It contained electrons and said that the atom could be divided_ What was Thomson’s model called? Plum pudding model What did Rutherford say about the structure of the atom? It contained a massive central region called the nucleus. What was Rutherford’s experiment called? __Gold foil experiment___________________ As a result of his experiment, what did Rutherford discover? __The nucleus of the atom_____ When did Bohr develop his theory? _1913______ What does Bohr’s theory say? _Electrons can be found in specific energy levels orbiting the nucleus __
The timeline should include
1913 Niels Bohr said that electrons can be found in specific energy levels orbiting the nucleus Atomic Theory Timeline 1897 J.J. Thomson Using the cathode ray tube discovered that atoms contained negatively charged particles called electrons – developed his plum pudding model 400 BC Democritus said that all matter is made up of tiny indivisible units called “atomos” 1808 John Dalton studied the composition of gases to determine that: All matter consists of indivisible particles called atoms. Atoms of the same element are similar in shape and mass, but differ from the atoms of other elements. Atoms of same/different elements can combine with each other to form compound atoms. Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that can take part in a chemical reaction. 1911 Ernest Rutherford conducted his gold foil experiment to determine that the atoms mass is contained a dense center called the nucleus. Summary: Describe how scientific knowledge is open to change as new evidence is observed. As we see with the atomic theory; as technology advances, new evidence is observed and if the evidence does not match a previous theory, that theory is modified in order to take into account the new evidence. We don’t continue to think of the atom in the same way that Democritus and Dalton thought of the atom because we now know that subatomic particles exist. Station 5 – Read, Discuss, Write (Textbook Resource: Holt Science Spectrum) Task: Read the following paragraphs, and complete the exercises below. Seeing Atoms: The STM The idea that everything is made up of small particles called atoms was first proposed by Greeks in the fifth century BCE. At that time, there was no experimental evidence to support this theory, and it did not gain much acceptance. Much later, in the early 1800s, British scientist John Dalton made a convincing argument, based on experimental evidence that supported the existence of atoms. Atoms are much too small to see, but Dalton found evidence for them in things he could observe, such as reactions between compounds. Because of the work of Dalton and others, the atomic theory soon became widely accepted by scientists. How the STM Sees Atoms Until recently, all evidence for the atomic theory was indirect. However, an exciting development in 1981 made it possible to see atoms for the first time. This new technology, the scanning tunneling microscope (STM), uses an electric current to probe the surface of a material. The STM measures how electrons are distributed on the material’s surface. The results are used to create a computer generated image of the atoms on the surface. The first image created by an STM showed a layer of gold atoms. Since then, the atoms of many different substances have been observed with STMs, including silver, nickel, platinum, and silicon. At this time, STMs are used primarily for imaging atoms. STMs have also been used to move single atoms from one location to another, and other potential applications are being researched. EXERCISES – Discuss the answers to the following questions then, on your own, write your response. 1. What is the most important difference between the Greek theory of atoms and Dalton’s atomic theory? Dalton was able to provide evidence. 2.What is the significance of the invention of the STM? It will allow us to make even more observations of the atom and potentially provide new evidence for the continued evolution of our knowledge of the atom Station 6 – Creation Station: Model the Development of the Atomic Theory Task: Use the items provided to build Dalton’s model of the atom, J.J. Thomson’s model of the atom, Rutherford’s model of the atom, and Bohr’s model of the atom then answer the following questions. Materials: Modeling clay (several colors) Questions
Station 7 – The Structure of Atoms Task: Examine the diagram and think about the discoveries that each scientist made to develop the atomic theory to answer the following questions. 
1. What is the center of the atom called? _The nucleus_ 2. The center of the atom is made up of positively charged particles and particles that have no electrical charge. Name the two particles. Particles with a positive charge = protons____ Particles with no charge = _neutrons_______________ 3. Negatively charged electrons are found in clouds outside the center of an atom. Why are electrons attracted to the center of the atom? The negative charge of the electrons is attracted to the positive charge of the protons found in the nucleus. Use the items provided to build a model of a neutral Carbon atom. Draw your model (be sure to label what each color represents) & explain it when you’re done. Materials: 1 bowl, 30 balls (10 red, 10 black, 10 blue), colored pencils (red, blue, black), periodic table Draw
Yellow represents __protons or neutrons. Black represents ____electrons How many protons did you use? _6__ How many neutrons did you use? ___6___ How many electrons did you use? __6____
How did you select the amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons that you chose to use? Using the periodic table provided, the number of protons was based on the atomic number, the number of neutrons was found by taking the atomic mass minus the atomic number and the number of electrons equals the number of protons since the atom is neutral.
