Hello Mr. Walk

=Assignment #1 - Intro to Wikispaces and the Atom (10pts)=

Introduction to the Atom
First, we'll need to create our own page by clicking on the "New Page" button in the upper left corner of the page. Name the page after yourself, including your first name and at least your last initial; such as "John's Page" or "Melissa and Alison's Page" or simply "John S.". Once you've created your page, you need to collect information on the Atom.

//**MAKE SURE YOU ADD A LINK TO THE PAGE WHERE YOU FOUND YOUR INFORMATION OR YOU WON'T GET THE POINTS!!!**//

For a bonus point:
 * 1) History of the Atom (5pts)
 * Find out the important scientists who contributed to our current knowledge of the atom. Include:
 * A picture.
 * When they lived.
 * What they did.
 * Find out the important experiments that were used to make breakthrough discoveries.
 * Who perfomed these experiments?
 * Include years of each discovery/experiment so we can get an idea of how long this process has taken.
 * 1) Atomic Structure (5pts)
 * What are the different parts of the atom?
 * What are the different particles that make up the atom?
