Station 1: Cathode Ray Tube: a vacuum tube that generates a ray of electrons that can be deflected by electromagnetic waves Anode: electrode through which electric current flows into a polarised electrical device Cathode: electrode that electric current flows through out of a polarised electrical device Electrons: negatively charged parts of an atom which flows outside the nucleus Plum Pudding Model: (I'm still working on this one!)
Station 2: Gold Foil Experiment: an experiment performed by Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden where they fired radioactive particles at thin sheets of gold and detecting where they went Protons: positively charged subatomic particle that is 1 amu Nucleus: group of protons and neutrons in the center of an atom Alpha particles: 2 protons and 2 neutrons bound together Beta particles: high energy, high speed electrons emitted from radioactive nuclei. Gamma particles: particles given off when a nucleus disintegrates
Station 10: Indirect Observation: researcher is relying on the observations of other Direct Observation: researcher is making the observations himself Theory: a guess or conjecture Model: a representation of how something is constructed

"I was a passenger on the journey...just a passenger. Everything that was done to bring us across was done by Wilmer Stultz and Slim Gordon. Any praise I can give them they ought to have...I do not believe that women lack the stamina to do a solo trip across the Atlantic, but it would be a matter of learning the arts of flying by instruments only, an art which few men pilots know perfectly now..."

The great female pilot, Amelia Earhart was born on July 24, 1897. The parents of this great woman are Samuel Stanton Earhart and Amelia Otis Earhart. Her childhood had some trouble, her father being an alcoholic and not being able to get a job and her having to move a lot. By the time that World War I came along, Amelia Earhart had gotten training to be a nurse’s aid and was off to help the wounded soldiers coming back. There, she fixed meals for patients that had special diet and handing out prescriptions. One day after the woman, a friend of her and herself went to Toronto. They watched an air show and during the air show, one of the planes dove at her. She described her feelings as this: “I did not understand it at the time,” she said, “but I believe that little red airplane said something to me as it swished by.” That was the day that her waiting to fly was awaken though she had yet to realize that. In 1920, December 28, she visited an airfield. There, she took a ten minute flight. That was when she realized for herself that she wanted to fly. “By the time I had got two or three hundred feet off the ground I knew I had to fly.” To make this dream come true, she worked hard and with in about a week, she was able to get her first have first flying lesson. Anita Snook was her teacher, another woman pilot. Amelia went up to Anita with a simple request. “I want to fly. Will you teach me?” Anita did just that. The plane that Amelia Earhart leaned to fly with was a Curtiss JN-4. A biplane built by the Curtiss Company in Hammondsport, New York. Then later by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company. It was used a trainer plane that both the Army and Navy use to train future pilots.

Amelia Earhart is one of the most influential women of this time. She has gotten to where she is today because she followed her dreams and has worked hard to achieve them. I think that it is wonderful that a woman can do so much, and she is an inspiration to women all over the world. She started out as just another On June 17, 1928, flew as a passenger with Wilmer Stultz across the Atlantic. This trip made her the first woman to fly across the Atlantic. Even though she was just a passenger on the flight, this was a major step in her career and made her an icon. Earhart, now known as “Lady Lindy”, is planning to host an airshow for

The great female pilot, Amelia Earhart was born on July 24, 1897. The parents of this great woman are Samuel Stanton Earhart and Amelia Otis Earhart. Her childhood had some trouble, her father being an alcoholic and not being able to get a job and her having to move a lot.

She described her feelings as this: “I did not understand it at the time,” she said, “but I believe that little red airplane said something to me as it swished by.” That was the day that her wanting to fly was awake, though she had yet to realize that. In 1920, December 28, she visited an airfield. There, she took a ten minute flight.

Anita Snook was her teacher, another woman pilot. Amelia went up to Anita with a simple request. “I want to fly. Will you teach me?” Anita did just that. The plane that Amelia Earhart leaned to fly with was a Curtiss JN-4. A biplane built by the Curtiss Company in Hammondsport, New York. Then later by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company. It was use as a trainer plane for both the Army and Navy use to train future pilots. These planes combined both the best features of the model J and model N, thus the name of Curtiss JN-4 Amelia Earhart bought her first plane in June of 1921. The plane was a second hand Kinner Airster Biplane. She nicknamed the plane as “The Canary” since it was bright yellow. On October 22, 1922, Amelia Earhart made her first record flight. In the Kinner Airster Biplane, The Canary, she few at the altitude of 14,000 feet, becoming the first woman pilot to ever do such a thing. Amazingly, that was before she even got a license by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. She was given the license on Ma 15, 1923. Thus becoming the sixteenth woman to have a pilot’s license. Amelia sold her Kinner Airster Bipland in 1924 and moved to Boston. There she became rather popular for a couple of reasons, one of them being she joined the National Aeronautic Association in Boston and she wrote columns in the newspaper to promote woman flying. Then on April 27, 1926 Captain H.H. Railey called her and asked if she would like to be the first woman to cross the Atlantic in air. She accepted his offer, she would only be a passenger for this flight, and the pilots were to be Wilmer Stultz and Louis Gordon. Their aircraft was name “Friendship” which was a tri-motor Fokker. On June 17, 1928 left Trepassey Harbor, Newfoundland and landed in Burry Port, South Wales, and 21 hours later. Everyone that had gathered had came to see Amelia the first woman to have crossed the Atlantic by air. Everyone wanted to meet and congradulate Amelia, even President Coolidge. Once Amelia got back to the United States, she was all ove the place with lectures, her name and picture appeared in the newspaper quite often. George Putname, the one who accepted Amelia for the first woman to fly across the atlantic, made sure of that. Amelia wrote a book on the Atlantic flight, calling it “20 hours, 40 minutes.” As the year progress, she did many things, such as being appointed General Traffic Manager at Transcontinental Air Transport. Her responsiblity was to attract other woman passengers. The Powder-Puff Derby was organized by Amelia Earhart. A women’s cross country race, from Los Angeles to Cleveland. Another thing that Amelia formed was the Ninety-Nines, which is a women’s pilot assoication. Amelia was their first president.
One of our reports interviewed Amelia Earhart, now here is part of the interview.
“Amelia, when was the first time you saw a plane and what was your opinion about it?”
“It was when I was 10 years old at the Iowa State Fair. My opinion of it was fairly low. I remember calling it a think of rusty wire and wood and not at all interesting.”
“How do you feel about being the first woman to cross the Atlantic by air?”
“The experience was good but I was just a passenger and I do feel bad for Wilmer Stultz and Slim Gordon. They were the ones that flew the airplane across the Atlantic and the praise should go to them..”
“Do you think that women are capable to fly across the Atlantic?”
“Yes! Very much so! We aren’t lacking stamina to do a solo. It’s just the matter of learning the instruments on the plane and there’s only a few men pilots that know how to do that perfectly.”
“Amelia, would you tell us your feelings on George Putnam?”
“Well at first it was just a close friendship. Both of us were able to relay and depend on each. We also shared simular interest, such as the outdoors, books and sports. Though after a while, it did change. The friendship turned into love.”
“Why were the Ninety-Nines named that?”
“That was because there were 99 applicants for membership.”
“Do you plan on marrying George Putnam, even though he was married until recently?”
“There’s always that chance that I will end up marrying but that’s something in the future.
As the year pass and go on, the world expects more wonderful things from Amelia Earhart.
