Right now it's just these models and me in an empty classroom.
Soon the kids will be here and we'll talk about cells or DNA ... and somehow I'll work the RX-8 into our lesson plan.
Say, filling up an atom's energy shells with electrons.
"Helium has only 2 electrons, both of which are in the first energy shell. That's like a 350Z, only 2 front seats and it's full. But if you consider Beryllium, it has 4 electrons: two in the first energy shell and two in the second energy shell. That's like a RX-8, it has front and back seats to fit all 4 electrons!" Groan ... :eyetwitch
And I'll be thinking, "Outside those window blinds is my 8." :banghead:
But inside this classroom are the kids who provide the means to pay for it and so much more. So they'll get all my attention for now, then it's RX-8 time!
