Physics Research Paper 
Physics Research Paper
Atomic Model Paper • Size 12, Times New Roman font • Intro & conclusion • Bibliography (3 to 4 references) • At least 2 to 3 pages (as long as it takes to answer the questions) • Intro (who was your scientist or describe your model) • Body o What was the atomic model your scientist came up with? Describe it, explain it. How did they come up with it? What experiments did they do? Research? o What was incomplete/wrong about their model? Explain. What was the next theory (& scientist) after yours? (either Bohr, Dalton, Rutherford, Quantum model, Thomson) o Quantum model: what important scientists helped contributed to this model? How did they contribute (what research did they do)? What was different about this model compared to others? Is this the most recent model or is there a more correct one? * be sure to explain the electrons & the space around the atom. • Conclusion o Sum up your report
