Create a FACTBook Page for Atomic Theory Scientists

Chemistry Project

• Since Facebook is all the rage let’s create pages for those fine scientists who gave us the Atomic Theory

• You will draw the name of one of the scientists we will briefly talk about during lecture

• Create a FACTbook page for them using content criteria and the model attached (link)

Content1. Scientist Name2. Date of Birth (or era they lived during)3. Where were they born, where they were educated,

and/or the location where they made their discovery4. Comments section:

1. By the scientist –describe their experiment and a summarize of their discovery / theory

2. By others – if they agreed/disagreed with findings, if the work of your scientist influenced their work

5. Friends – peers, colleagues, students, research assistants, supporters, etc.. At least two others must be atomic scientists or relevant historic figures.

Content (continued)6. Likes / Dislikes – individuals and/or groups, school

subjects, etc.7. Events – those that drove the discovery / theory,

those the resulted from their discovery / theory, key events around the world at the time

8. Photo gallery9. Relationships – people, organizations10. Ads – for the equipment they used, products or

processes that came from the discovery11. Keep it tasteful and school appropriate – and have fun
