Science Hw 8/31/10

J J Thomson differed from Democritus in his scientific method to discover the atom.  Democritus only made a hypothesis that if you cut something enough times it would be to small to cut.  Democritus stated his hypothesis without doing an experiment to prove his hypothesis right.  Thomson discovered that atoms had negatively charged particles, which he called electrons, and he did an experiment and used the scientific method to prove his hypothesis.
