    One of J.J. Thomson's most significant contributions to science, and thus to the study of atomic theory, was his discovery of the electron. Before the discovery of the electron, the atom was already associated with having electric charges-both positive and negative-but the idea of an electron existing as its own particle was unheard of. It was in 1897 when Thomson first conducted the beginning of his now famous experiment, in which he used a cathode ray tube to aid in his findings. A cathode ray

    In 1913, Robert Millikan and Harvey Fletcher discovered how much charge electrons have by using their oil drop experiment. Before their experiment, J.J. Thompson did an experiment that discovered electrons and their negative charge, but what he never found out how much negative charge electrons have. What scientists wanted to know was exactly how much much charge each electron has. Robert Millikan and Henry Fletcher had to be very clever to pull off this experiment effectively because they couldn’t

    Everything has a different purpose, even if they are talking about the same thing. Just like with the two articles, "Energy Story" and "Conducting Solutions." Same with the one video clip, "Hands-on Science with Squishy Circuits." These three sources all talk about the same thing, which is electricity. However, just because these three sources talk about the same thing doesn't mean they have the same purpose. First, the difference between the two articles’, "Energy Story" and "Conducting Solutions"
