2/28/2014: Notebook Assignment #2
Scientists use all sorts of models to help explain their ideas. They also make models to try out designs on a small scale before building something that will be very large and expensive. If the model works well, they can use it to raise the money they need to build the true thing. Conversely, If something is too small to see easily, scientists may make an enlarged model so that they can manipulate it easily. This may help them figure out how the smaller thing behaves. Another way that scientists use models is to make predictions about the future.
Each of the scientists above created a model of the atom based on their discovery and previous discoveries from other scientists. From what you know about their discoveries, try to match each scientist to their model.
Draw their models and the model name associated with each scientist in your notes on that scientist.
