How do we know what we know about electrons if they're so small?

Good question. I'll get back with you on that.

...

(45 minutes later *exits off twitter [lie]*)

Okay, so how DO we know what we know about electrons if they're so small?

Well, how do we know about atoms if they're so small?????? (Actually, atoms are quite huge, technically) :D

That's rhetorical, Elizabeth. Don't comment.

Okay, seriously. Geez. AD/HD.

Well, technically, we don't know FOR SURE if it's actually correct. I mean, come on, it's invisible to the human eye, so that should tell ya somethin. But we are pretty sure what we know is true based on the consistency of what we've learned.

*P.S. Do I need to add more details, Mr. H?

Science Test for Test 1

Voila! Take it! >:) Pweaseee

Science Test 1



Made by Emilee Griffith






1. Democritus’ theory was . . .






___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________






2. Who named the proton?






A. Dalton B. Rutherford


C. Democritus D. Thomson






3. True / False (circle) : Chadwick discovered the neutron.






4. Look at the element ‘ Germanium ’ . Name the amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons.






Protons_______Neutrons_______Electrons


_________






5. Choose a scientist we have studied, and describe how he used the scientific method. Describe how your scientist differs from Democritus’ use of the scientific method.

The OFFICIAL Science Definition of Lambert >:)

So, while on Twitter last night (:
 Mr. Harrelson sent me a link.
  I thought it was awesome. :p


Official Definition of Lambert in Scienceness Terms


A unit of luminance in the centimeter-gram-second system, equivalent to the luminance of a perfectly diffusing surface that emits or reflects one lumen per square centimeter. The lambert is named after the Swiss mathematician and physicist Johann Heinrich Lambert (1728-1777).



HW of Scieceness 1

As much as I'd like to use Dalton as my scientist to annoy Sara, I am doing Rutherford.

Whyyyy?

Because he totally ownd Democritus.

Howwww?

Democritus wondered, what would happen if you cut, let's say, bread, into a piece so small it could not be cut again. "Atomos" means uncuttable, in probably Latin or Greek or somethin fancy like that. This was about all Democritus did.

HOWEVER ...

Rutherford actually carried out pieces of the scientific method, such as designing an experiment (The Gold Foil Experiment). He also proved his teacher Thomson wrong. (BWAHAHA! >:D)

So yeah, take that Democritus. :p
It's Ef F I N Science on G4 ... Yup.
