We will reinforce the electron and the nuclear atom as well as draw and label the plum pudding model of Thomson and the nuclear atomic model of Rutherford. In the remaining time, students are to begin reading about how atoms … Continue reading →

Students are to complete pages 47-49 in their Science Notebook Reading Guide. This topic will reinforce the definition and components of an atom, the work with the cathode ray experiments, Rutherford’s model of the atom, and a summary of the … Continue reading →

We will complete answering and correcting our Science Notebook Reading Guide  pages 44-46, and then we will reinforce the early ideas about the atom that were put forth by the Greek philosophers, Democritus, Aristotle, and Dalton!

Students will read about the early ideas about the structure of the atom that were put forth by several Greek philosophers/scientists, and they include Democritus, Aristotle, and Dalton. As each student read his/her material, each student needs to complete their … Continue reading →

Students will be evaluated upon the states of matter, physical and chemical properties of matter, physical and chemical changes, types of mixtures, methods of mixture separation, an overview of the organization of the Periodic table of the Elements, and how all compounds … Continue reading →
