Basic Atomic and Nuclear Physics for school.

Having actually done some of these experiments I comment. Podcast

I had read this below earlier in the day and podcasted while walking at night

From the syllabus:

Structure of the Atom

Inquiry question: How is it known that atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons?

Students:
● investigate, assess and model the experimental evidence supporting the existence and properties of the electron, including:
 – early experiments examining the nature of cathode rays
– Thomson’s charge-to-mass experiment
 – Millikan's oil drop experiment (ACSPH026)

 ● investigate, assess and model the experimental evidence supporting the nuclear model of the atom, including:
 – the Geiger-Marsden experiment
 – Rutherford’s atomic model
– Chadwick’s discovery of the neutron (ACSPH026)
