History of Science Timeline
6th Grade Assignment - Mrs. Delatorre
Students will design a timeline of scientific inventions and or discoveries. There are no set standards, so be as creative as you like. You can make your timeline in any form, shape, size, and use any materials that you like. You may use pictures, clip art, figurines, etc. It can be a poster, a book, a time capsule, or anything else that you can come up with. The more creative the better!
On the back of your timeline, please answer the following questions:
1. How can scientific theories change with new discoveries?
2. How can new technology lead to new discoveries?
3. In what ways can scientific discoveries create new technologies that affect society?
Answers should be carefully thought out. Each question should be answered in complete paragraph form. Use examples for each answer.
Your timeline should contain at least ten (10) major scientific inventions or discoveries that let to other technological breakthroughs. You will also receive a grade for the depth of your answers to the above questions as well as the organization of your writing. Spelling and grammar count! Finally, the overall attractiveness of your timeline will be taken into consideration. So, take pride in your work!
Purpose: To construct a modern atomic model of an element, showing its’ electronic configuration.
Materials: Any materials except food products. May be 2-D or 3-D.
Required:
1. The Model must include the following information, in the designated area,
if it is 2-D. If the model is 3-D then write information on an index card.
ON THE FRONT:
- atomic number in the upper left corner
- atomic mass in the lower left corner
- symbol in the lower right corner
- element in the upper right corner
- number of protons in the nucleus
- number of neutrons in the nucleus
ON THE BACK:
- name, date, period and AOI in the upper right corner
- block (from the periodic table) that represents the element, in the middle of the paper.
- characteristics of the element, in complete sentences
underneath the block, and what it is used for.
2. The model must contain the correct number of orbitals. (Research)
3. Each orbital must include the correct number of electrons. (Research)
4. Use objects to represent the protons, neutrons, and electrons. Do not
use a single ball for the nucleus.
5. Be creative, but do not use any item that may fall off or cause your
project to become stuck to someone else’s model.
6. Models cannot be computer generated.
Use the following web page to get the information needed:

Grade: This project will be graded for content, creativity and format and
is worth a total of 4 grades.
Due Date: Thursday, November 8th, 2007
