Observe students using a simulation related to Rutherford’s gold-foil experiment as a source of additional evidence to inform revisions to their models of atomic structure. With the guidance of high school teacher Kristin Mayer the students discuss the relationships among components shown in the simulation and how those relationships connect with the observations Rutherford made in his experiment.

Lesson: Unit 1 Investigation 6 from the Interactions Project Curriculum.

This video is 8 of 8 that introduces science teachers to important strategies based on the Framework for K-12 Science Education (http://sites.nationalacademies.org/dbasse/bose/framework_k12_science/index.htm) and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) (http://www.nextgenscience.org/). This collection of videos highlights the major shifts in science instruction, explore the new role of the teacher, and demonstrate new instructional strategies in the high school classroom. The project was led by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) (http://www.nsta.org) with funding from Disney, and the video and lesson development was led by CREATE for STEM Institute (http://create4stem.msu.edu/) at Michigan State University, in partnership with Concord Consortium (http://concord.org/), and The School of Education (http://soe.umich.edu) at the University of Michigan. Learn more about the NGSS at the NGSS@NSTA Hub (http://ngss.nsta.org/).
