The History of the Atom

adapted from Fairfield Union Jr. High, Scotland
The sites below will take you on a whirlwind tour of how we got to the place we are in our understanding of the Atom. This really is an adventure into uncharted territory, and while we know a little right now about the atom we really are just on the beach looking out into the ocean.  Wondering what's really hiding in the deeps out there and what's yet to be discovered is exciting!  Put your thinking caps on and let's discover the history of the Atom!
