How about some nice STM images of atoms:

http://web.mit.edu/i-m/image11big.htm

or have them read Uncle Tungsten by Oliver Sacks, which provides a nice
discussion of the history of chemistry and the experimental evidence that
led to the development of the periodic table, the existence and nature of
atoms, etc.
