Rutherford Simulation Lab

Rutherford Simulation Lab

Mrs. Friedmann wasn't in class today so the sub took us up to the math lab where we worked on the computers to complete the Rutherford Simulation Lab which was handed out before we left the class.  The purpose of this lab was to investigate the procedure and results of Rutherford's gold foil experiment and to describe how the findings led tot he rejection of the Thomson atomic model and the emergence of Rutherford's model. 



If you were absent today you can find this lab posted in the Unit 6 handouts folder as well as in the labs/activities folder. 

Our homework for tonight is to
1. Finish the lab from today in class, if you didn't do so already.
2. Complete the 2 WebAssigns that were assigned yesterday-due at 11:59 tonight.
3. Take notes in your journal on the 2 PowerPoints that are posted in the Unit 6 handouts folder. The PowerPoints are labelled "Atomic History Part 1" and "Atomic History Part 2" and will be checked in tomorrow.
4. The Unit 6 Review Packet is due in a week from today so make sure to work on it every night.  Mrs. Friedmann recommends answering 2-3 questions per night so that you can pace yourself. 

The next scribe is Juliette O.
