I WILL ADD MORE! Releasing early because I wanted to feel productive, I guess. ENJOY! Please note that this project is not yet done. As of right now, I am explaining only basic atomic theory. Click to advance through the slides and interact with the project if necessary. After the intro, you can use arrow keys and tap the sides of the screen to go back and forth through the slides. Here, I will explain atomic theory in a way that even a 5-year-old can understand. Whether you are a rocket scientist, a college student, a high school student, a 5-year-old that wants to impress their friends, or anything in between, this basic explanation of atomic theory is for you! I mostly made this project to review concepts for myself, but feel free to use this if you also would like to have AP physics (aka "very challenging" physics) explained in a way that anyone can understand it! FEEL FREE to comment any questions. I will try my best to answer them! Fun fact: this project will continue being updated until the school year is over! Information from Khan academy and school, condensed into an easy-to-understand guide to atomic theory by me. We don't talk about the goofy background music. Of course it's perfect for atomic theory. analogies all made up by me, but idk if someone's used them before. if they have, i did not know about it. Credit: khanacademy.org britannica.com for some of the pictures me, for drawing/writing all of this The pun at the beginning is horrible, sorry about that! Inaccuracies/suggestions? Please let me know! My other "explain like I'm 5" project, which was for the SDS: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1197098033/
