In 1910, a physicist from New Zealand, Ernest Rutherford performed an experiment known as Rutherfordâ??s gold foil experiment. After Rutherford's theory, scientists began to consider that the atom is not a single particle, but it is made up of very smaller subatomic particles.

How many trials did you run for the sand experiment?

If it is the same experiment attached to link, you would need only 1 trial each unless you want to retry if there is more grain or shape distribution. There is no requirement for how many time in repeating experiment since it is observation experiment not measuring experiment.
