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:

  1. Democritus
  2. Robert Boyle
  3. Antoine Lavoisier
  4. John Dalton
  5. Sir JJ Thompson
  6. Robert Millikan
  7. Sir Earnest Rutherford
  8. Neils Bohr
  9. Sir James Chadwick
  10. Louis de Broglie 
  11. Erwin Schrödinger 
  12. Werner Heisenberg 

 You will need to include the following pictorial models of the atom and place each with the correct scientist:

  1. Indivisible, solid sphere model
  2. Electron cloud model
  3. Planetary or solar system model
  4. Plum (raisin) pudding model
  5. 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:
