Grade+8+Atoms+and+the+Periodic+Table+project

This is the project you will follow in weeks 17-19 in Karin's absence


 * Schedule:**
 * All classes will be in the Technology Computer Room except if you have the test - this will be in the normal classroom.**


 * Tuesday group:** week 20 test
 * Wednesday group:** week 17 and 18 no lesson; week 20 test
 * Friday group:** week 18 no lesson; week 19 test

You may not have enough time to finish this project but it may be continued in week 21. Just work steadily and do your best.

The test - this is your grade 8 chemistry test. It covers all aspects of the grade 8 chemistry and is NOT open book. You do not have to learn the Periodic Table by heart but learn the patterns and reactivity trends. You should learn the names of the main groups, and which elements are in them. The work done before ski break is also included in the test.


 * The Project! **

How have ideas about the structure of the atom changed?

For this project, present ideas on a wall (see padlet website as explained below), which shows a timeline for the development of understanding about the structure of the atom.

Key ideas/concepts to include:


 * hard spheres
 * 'plum pudding'
 * Rutherford's model
 * Bohr model
 * wave model


 * How to do it:**

This work is individual. Create an account at padlet (www.padlet.com) and create a new pad. Make sure you use your name so I know whose work I am looking at! From the privacy settings, allow my email, karin.parker@eduouka.fi access to your wall. This is where you can work on the project and I will check these as you go along.

Include **sources** as links (so web addresses are fine). This video is very useful: []


 * Diary:**

In the top left corner of your wall include a diary section. Basically you can use this to write down if you were in the lesson and what you did - it's possible there will be disruption/problems and I want to keep track of this. For example:


 * **Date** || **What I did** ||
 * Fri April 24 || watched the youtube video; covered ideas about the early theories like hard spheres and plum pudding ||
 * Fri May 1 || Nothing -Vappu! ||


 * Assessment for the project:**

This will NOT formally be assessed on IB criteria. However I will red/orange/green it for:
 * subject knowledge** - is it appropriate - not too easy nor too hard; do you demonstrate that you understand the work
 * effort** - did you do enough work to reflect the lessons - the diary part is important for this: if you were absent for a lesson this is where it can be recorded.

You are **not** to do homework on this project: you will have plenty of homework studying for the test.

The red/orange/green marks WILL influence your final number, along with all other assessments you have done this year.

You can email me and include open questions on this page - in the discussion part. You have to log in to wikispaces to take part in the discussion: Login as: student.student so if you ask something include your name. If I am well enough during lesson time,I may be online too and able to answer questions quickly.
