they began creating experiments and activities with Aristotle's idea about matter. They created a scientific process that was used to discover it.

theorizes that solid forms of matter are composed of indivisible elements shaped like triangles
(https://www.thecollector.com/ancient-greeks-discover-atoms-atomism/) -
Believed atoms were uniform, solid, hard, incompressible, and indestructible. As well as that they moved in infinite numbers through empty space until stopped.

He believed that everything is composed of very tiny particles, atomism

Defined that matter was composed of atoms that were not created or destroyed during chemical reactions.

An atom model proposed by John Dalton
(https://homework.study.com/explanation/what-is-the-billiard-ball-model.html) -
He made a theory that says all matter is made of atoms, which are invisible, all atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties, and compounds are combinations of 2 or more different types of elements.

elements arranged according to the value of their atomic weight present a clear periodicity of properties

She suggested that the powerful rays, or energy, the polonium and radium gave off were actually particles from tiny atoms that were disintegrating inside the elements.

He described the atom as having a tiny, dense, and positively charged core called the nucleus.
