Atomic Inference Activity

Earlier in the unit we participated in an activity that tested our ability to inference the architectural structure of a circular box. This activity was related to Rutherford's experiment of bouncing particles off the atom to determine its structure. Unfortunately, Gillian and I were rarely able to determine the structure and usually didn't even get close. Luckily we were not the scientists discovering the atom or who knows how long it would've taken. This experiment also showed the difficulties of inference without visual aid.
