contributions over class will try to
the years. assemble them
The students chronologically
collaborate and
draw a model of the
atom described in
their article

atom
-Redefine the charge, mass, and location of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
-Introduce ions and isotopes
-Talk about Bohr model/octet rule/valence electrons
