- Graphic & Image

Neat! Show your physics class exactly how Ernest Rutherford fired alpha particles at a piece of gold foil and so determined that most of an atom is composed of empty space. Not just a slide show, but almost an animation, this presentation uses a series of diagrams to show how some particles fly through the foil while others bounce back. You will definitely want to add this to your lesson on atomic structure!
