They will recognize the beginnings of atomic theory with the ancient Greeks, and follow its changes through to modern wave theory. Atomic Exploration: Students will express their current knowledge of atomic structure. Groups of students will then use the internet to learn about different models of the atom, from the Greeks to the wave mechanical model. Each group will present their findings to the class. Emission Spectra To observe and calculate the energies of the emission line spectra of several elements. Identification of Metals Using a Flame Test Students will observe and identify elements based on the color produced in a flame test.
