__Atomic Model CHALLENGE__
Can you work with a partner from another class period to illustrate and present one of the historical models of the atom to our class? You and your partner will PRETEND that you live in different cities while working on this challenge. For example, you will pretend one of you are in Paris, France and the other is in Munich, Germany. At no time will you be able to work together "in person". All communication and work between you on this project must be conducted online on this wiki.

I will only give you the name of the model.

 * You and your partner must do the research to answer questions I will give you about the model.
 * You and your partner will have to discuss how you will create a model to present to the class. (1/2 of the model will be created by you and then I will "ship" the model to your partner to finish the other 1/2 of the model.)
 * You and your partner will also have to create a movie to present to the class along with your model. You may choose to create a Photostory 3 movie or a Windows Movie Maker movie. (We will have a tutorial on how to use this tool.)

Your Model
Your model must be 3-dimensional and (at least) 5 inch x 5 inch x 5 inch. The materials you use cannot be food-related. The model must be labeled as completely as the historical creator's model. A card must be attached to the model that tells 1) the historical creator's name, and 2) the name of the atom, if applicable, and 3) you and your partner's name and your "city".

Your Movie
(details later)

You will be graded on each item below!

 * 1)** Finish a short introduction to your associate. MANY of you are forgetting to "get into character." Remember: This is a person you are pretending that YOU DO NOT KNOW. Speak to your associate as though you do not yet "know" them. Be polite and introduce yourself with your city and country and a brief summary of your thoughts about the project. You must write them a full paragraph in a more formal, business-like manner to earn full points. **(10 points)**


 * 2)** Follow the link below to complete research on your model. You will need to click on the links for your assigned model. Write a full and complete paragraph on your wiki page about the research you conducted today. Talk about the model of the atom, the structure and theories behind the model and other factual information. You might insert a picture or two if you find one you like. **(10 points)**

Be sure to "SAVE" what you type on the wiki page. __**WARNING**__: Be careful that you do not delete anything that your associate has put onto the page. They will need to have their work graded as well as yours so DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING TODAY.....**just ADD to what might already be there**.
