 * __Intro__**

In this unit, we will be discussing the atom. It is important (and interesting) to understand how we came to the model of the atom that we use today. Use your online textbook to gather information about the different scientists and their models of the atom. Use myhistro to create a timeline story and a map following the progression of the atomic model. Be sure to include: 1) The name of the scientist 2)The name of the model (if applicable) 3) An explanation of the discovery (if applicable) 4) How the scientist described their model of the atom 5) The location on the map 6) A photo to accompany the event 7) If you used any source other than the text be certain to cite the source. MLA format, on the event. 8) Include the website you got any photos from in the "about photo" section under each photo. Example Timeline
 * __Part 1__**

Understanding the subatomic particles and their respective charges will be an essential part of this course for the rest of the year. Atomic structure is what gives each element its unique properties.
 * __Part 2__**

Use powtoon to create a cartoon that will help you and your classmates remember the following: 1) Names of the subatomic particles 2) The charges of each type subatomic particle 3) Where each type of subatomic particle is located in the atom 4) The mass of each subatomic particle (in amu)

Be creative, you choose any theme you like. The information does not have to be given as a list, use this fun tool to present the information in a new way.

In this example, the charges of neutrons and electrons are presented, as well as the mass of the electron.

This week we discussed how the average atomic mass present on the periodic table was calculated, and why it was a decimal, and not a whole number. You will each be assigned a practice problem that asks you to calculate the average atomic mass of an element, when given the percent abundance of each of its isotopes. 1) First solve the problem by working it out on a piece of paper. 2) When you feel you have reached the correct answer, use Explain Everything to show your classmates your work. 3) You may record sound, but you do not have to include sound. 4) We will have all the students in class try each problem, then we will use your video as our answer key. Be sure to include: - Your assigned question - Your work, step by step - A final answer, properly labeled - A way to check if your answer is correct
 * __Part 3__**

On Haiku, I have created a Wiki Project page for each of you. Use the Haiku Wiki Project page to post all three parts of your assignment. This is what it should look like Haiku page
