Obscurtainer Activity

Using the activity during class yesterday, I was able to mimic RUTHERFORD'S model of making inferences to determine his atomic model. We were told to make an educated guess of the shape inside the closed cylinder that the ball was hitting off of, which proved to be very difficult. After a few tries I got more accustomed to the basic shapes inside and I actually guessed a few correctly. Through this, I was experiencing the guessing process used by this revered chemist for his view of the atomic model.
