Atomic Structure: History of the Development of the Atomic Model

The atomic model history—told as a timeline story. Two PowerPoints are included for you to choose from. The first is the full history of the atomic model from Democritus to the current Quantum Mechanical Model of the atom. The second PowerPoint is “Just the Basics” which includes the primary scientists, laws, and models. Each PowerPoint has two embedded videos—short thought provoking videos that are sure to get discussion going. This is a very interactive lesson that includes the student’s list of scientists, and two graphic organizers that are completed during the PowerPoint lesson. There are four pages of teacher notes that guide you step-by-step through the lesson with full description of what the students should be doing. This lesson can tend to be a bit dry and boring. However, with this interactive storytelling and students active involvement, my students love it. Note: The PowerPoints included in this lesson are text editable, and slides can be added or delete
