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 Unfortunately, he's using the outdated Bohr model with electrons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."

Please Support RF Cafe by purchasing
my ridiculously low−priced products, all of which I created.
RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
