Professor Venus Flytrap Teaches the Bohr Atom Model
Does
anyone out there other than me remember watching
WKRP in Cincinnati? Here is a video clip of DJ Venus Flytrap
teaching a lesson on the atomic model to a street thug in a way he can
understand. Unfortunately, he's using the outdated Bohr model with electrons
orbiting the nucleus, but hey, Bohr's work got chemistry through the
middle of the 20th century. With the extreme level of science ignorance
these days in the general public, maybe PBS should broadcast an entire
series on science and mathematics using Venus' method. Maybe they could
call it "Essential Science and Math for Dummies - and Yes, We're Talking
About You."
