Directions:
In your small group of approximately four people, you will research one of the following atomic models.

- Rutherford model
- Bohr model of the atom.
Each was “discovered” and named after the scientist who “came up” with this model. Your group must:
c) Create a short handout about your theory for the class with 10 blanks on it that your classmates must
fill in during your presentation (and an “answer key” for Ms. Jacobson).
d) Create THREE Multiple Choice OR True and False questions about your theory that will be handed
- Did the group members speak slowly and clearly so that the audience could hear all of them?
- Did the presentation and handout match? (Did you speak to each point on the handout, in the
- Was it obvious that the group put a lot of effort into making the model?
- Was the model used during the presentation to help the audience understand the theory?
- Did the handout have at least 10 blanks that were relevant to what the audience should know
- Were the three multiple choice or true or false questions handed in on a separate piece of paper
- You will be filling out a peer assessment on each of your group members. You will need to grade
your team members on how well they used their time in class, how much they contributed to the
project etc. You will also fill out a self evaluation about how you contributed to this project.
