Rutherford's Experiment Post-Lab

Physical Science Students:
The post-lab for Rutherford's Experiment is to write a conclusion that addresses the following:
1) How did you use your observations to determine the shape under the board?
2) How accurate were you?
3) What would you do differently if you could redo the experiment?
4) How was this lab similar to Rutherford's Experiment? How was it different?

To help you answer the last question, you might want to refresh your memory on Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment by watching this animation.
