7th-8th Grade Science: Week of Oct. 5-9

Hello,
We will continue with our study of the development of the atomic theory. To assist students in really understanding the structure of the atom, I am assigning each student to build a 3-dimensional model of the atom as an extended homework. I will give students sufficient time and information so that this activity is a success for them. Here is the timeline:

Wednesday, Oct. 7: Each student will be assigned an atom for which a 3-dimensional model will be built.

Homework for Friday, Oct. 9: Students are to submit at the beginning of class a Atomic Model construction plan including the materials and step-by-step procedure to construct the model. Once approved, students will have five nights to complete the model.

Homework for Wednesday, Oct. 14. Complete the Atomic Model according to your construction plan. Students will give a short presentation of their atom to the class. Have a great week and email me or contact me in class if you have any questions,
-Mr. Pfiester
