Module Descriptions

Module 7—Investigating the Nature of the Atom

In Module 7 you will investigate the electrical structure and quantum nature of the atom.

As you are working in Module 7, keep the following question in mind:

• How does the quantization of energy in atoms and nuclei reveal the electrical nature of the atom?

Module 8—Nuclear Decay, Energy, and the Standard Model of the Atom

In Module 8 you will investigate nuclear decay, energy, and the standard model of the atom.

As you are working in Module 8, keep the following question in mind:

• What is our current understanding of the atom and how do models, such as the standard model, evolve as new evidence and technology are applied at the atomic and subatomic levels?
