Today’s Objectives
SWBAT describe and differentiate
between theories and laws.
SWBAT describe and trace the
evolution of atomic theory from 420
B.C. to 1808.
Meet your new BEST FRIENDS!!!!
LESSON TITLE:
THEORIES, LAWS, AND
ATOMIC THEORY PART 1
Anticipation Guide (10-15 min)
Before reading the entire article, mark if you agree
or disagree with each.
After reading the entire article, fill in the
paragraph number where you found the answer to
each statement.
Reflection: Were you correct or not? What did
you learn?
What is a scientific theory?
Key Point #1: A scientific theory is
a well-tested explanation for a
braod set of observations
Higher
level than hypothesis (more
tests)
Can be or may need to be changed
in the future
Some Common Theories
Theory of Evolution
Theory of Plate
Tectonics
Germ Theory of
Disease
How is a THEORY different from a
CONCLUSION or HYPOTHESIS?
THEORY
Explanation
supported by many,
many experiments
MORE THAN
ONE SCIENTIST
Takes time!
What is a scientific law?
Key Point #2: A scientific law is a concise
statement that summarizes the results of
many observations and experiments.
Laws
aren’t long explanations (that’s what
theories are for!)
Some Common Laws
Kepler’s Law of
Planetary Motion
Law of Gravity
Law of Conservation
of Matter
Acceptance of Scientific Discovery
The Long Version
Use the following rules of evidence to examine experimental results:
A. Can an expert's technique or theory be tested, has it been tested,
or is it simply a subjective, conclusive approach that cannot be
reasonably assessed for reliability?
B. Has the technique or theory been subjected to peer review and
publication?
C. What is the known or potential rate of error of the technique or
theory when applied?
D. Were standards and controls applied and maintained?
E. Has the technique or theory been generally accepted in the
scientific community?
Acceptance of Scientific Discovery
“Cliff’s Notes”
Use the following rules of evidence to examine experimental results:
A. Has
it been adequately tested?
B. Has peer review occurred?
C. What kind of error does it have?
D. Were there standards or control
groups?
E. Has it been accepted by scientific
community?
What is an atom?
Atom: the smallest
particle of an
element that
retains (keeps) its
identity in a
chemical reaction
Well then, what is an element?
NOT THIS
KIND OF
ELEMENT!!!
Well then, what is an element?
NOT THIS
KIND OF
ELEMENT!!!
Well then, what is an element?
Element: the simplest form of matter that
has a unique set of properties; an element
cannot be broken down into simpler
substances by chemical means
THESE
KINDS OF
ELEMENTS
Major Playas of Atomic Theory
Democritus (460-370 B.C.)
John Dalton (1808)
J.J. Thomson (1897)
Ernest Rutherford (1909)
Niels Bohr (1913)
Schrodinger (1924)
Acceptance of Scientific Discovery
“Cliff’s Notes”
Use the following rules of evidence to examine experimental results:
A. Has
it been adequately tested?
B. Has peer review occurred?
C. What kind of error does it have?
D. Were there standards or control
groups?
E. Has it been accepted by scientific
community?
Democritus (460-370 B.C.)
Experiment: Observations and inferences
No
REAL experiment…just IDEAS
Where: Greece
When: 420 B.C.
First “theory” of the atom
What were Democritus’ conclusions?
•Matter is composed of tiny
particles called atomos
•Different kinds of particles
have different sizes and shapes
•Atoms are indivisible and
indestructible
In the beginning…
Around 420 B.C. Democritus, a Greek
philosopher, was the first to think of the
idea of atoms
A
philosopher is a thinker
Around the same time Aristotle, a more
famous philosopher, proposed a
different idea
In the beginning…
Aristotle gave us this quote…
“We are what we repeatedly
do. Excellence, therefore, is
not an act but a habit.”
Among other things…
He challenged the ideas of
Democritus
He did not think the “nothingness” of
empty space could exist
Questions to Ponder…
Why was Democritus’ idea not a
VALID theory?
John Dalton (1766-1844)
•Experiment:
Careful chemical
measurements
•Where: England
•When: 1808
Dalton’s Postulates (in textbook)
In 1808, John Dalton came up with the first atomic
theory that was based on scientific research.
It stated:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
All matter is made of atoms.
Atoms are indivisible and indestructible.
All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and
properties
Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more
different kinds of atoms.
A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.
What were Dalton’s conclusions?
Atoms are hard,
round, solid balls.
They are similar to
marbles.
Questions to Ponder…
Why would people believe John Dalton
and not Democritus?
What makes John Dalton’s ideas about
the atom more of a valid theory than
the ideas of Democritus?
Facebook Challenge
Pretend you are Dalton and write a
message to Democritus
Include 3 facts about each of your
theories and tell Democritus why your
theory is better than his!
