| Title | Testing Ideas from Classical and Quantum Physics |
| Description | In this activity, students will first run the simulation develop characteristics of a model for the hydrogen atom based on their initial observations. Then they will test different models, comparing them to the characteristics of their model and to their observations. This activity simulates how scientists often work, developing models based on observations and then testing those models. |
