360Science™: Evaluate the Bohr Model of the Atom

By: The Flinn Staff

360Science™  blends the best of student-engaging digital content with easily adaptable hands-on labs to offer your students a uniquely comprehensive learning experience. 

In this lab experience,
 students explore whether it is possible to know the precise location of an electron around the nucleus of an atom at any given time as they perform an investigation that models quantum mechanics. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content—including a virtual reality (VR) simulation—help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.

Product Details

360Science™: Evaluate the Bohr Model of the Atom
Concepts: Quantum mechanics, electron energy levels, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, orbital shapes
Outcomes: Students explore the difficulty of finding an electron around the nucleus and come to understand that we can only determine the probability of its location. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle states that there is a fundamental limitation as to just how precisely both the position and the momentum of a particle can be known at any given time. Quantum mechanics deals only with the probability of finding a particle within a given region of space at any given time. With a few simple and safe materials, your students are sure to grasp this important concept!
Associated Phenomena: What causes the colors in a fireworks display?

Our 1-year option provides access to all digital content for one year plus lab supplies for a single class of 30 students. Our 3-year option extends access to digital content to three years, with a 30% discount on refill supply kits years 2 and 3.

What is Flinn 360Science™?
We’re introducing a whole new way to teach experiential science! We’ve taken a hard look at science study from all perspectives and, thanks to the feedback of thousands of teachers nationwide, we’ve created a way to make it easier to provide personalized instruction while delivering the kind of lab experiences your students truly need.

Our new and comprehensive learning solutions are designed to bring science to life by giving you all the tools you need to incorporate more (and effective) hands-on learning in your classroom or lab. 360Science allows you to provide your students with the support they need to make real-world connections to key scientific principles and help make those abstract concepts concrete.

Every 360Science lab solves the most common challenges educators face in bringing more hands-on science to their students—from not having enough time to matching the right level of challenge for students’ abilities to providing appropriate background content, safety techniques, assessments and more.

Enable student-driven, blended learning through a unique combination of leveled lab instructions supporting prescriptive, guided- and open-inquiry lab exercises (see PDF resource for specific details) with robust digital content, such as videos and carefully curated Open Educational Resources (OER)—along with virtual reality and simulation exercises. From editable, digital instructions to assessments and alignment with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), we have everything you need to improve mastery, remove the intimidation factor and foster your students’ natural curiosity.
