Atomic+Theory

Technology illustrating Atomic Theory:

**Premise:**
Explore the History of Science using technology Student directed learning Google docs to create a common set of notes Simulations to illustrate and explain atomic models more clearly

**PLO/Objectives:**
Chem 11: E1 Atomic models of Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr A4: demonstrate scientific literacy A5: demonstrate ethical, responsible, cooperative behaviour Group discussion and delegation of duties using the jig saw strategy Jig saw strategy: students become experts in a small subset and present findings to class Presentation to explain ideas and reinforce scientific literacy

**Project Requirements:**
Students research on the background of Democritus, Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr Short description of development of model and its influences Find a simulation describing how the model works relative to light or bonding Information amalgamated to a single Google document which will become the set of class notes Presentation of results as well as a simulation

**Learning: Mine and Theirs:**
Me: Using traditional pedagogy to push thinking deeper. Jig saw -> much more elaborate Use of Google Docs lets students create common set of notes -> Ownership Information can be shared with other groups as they come across it Students: Utilize different skills and technology to build knowledge group discussion, research, organization, and presentation skills View and explain models in the language that other students can understand

==Assessment= Clping.pictClipping= 3 prong strategy: 1) Self assessment of presentation - Students evaluate how well they presented their information to the class

2) Teacher assesses presentation using a rubric developed with the class earlier in the year

3) Peer evaluation – students evaluate the quality of the notes
