Chemical vocabulary and understanding can come from many experiences, besides the classroom. Perhaps you visited a science museum, or had a chemistry magic show come to your school. You may have been given a chemistry set as a present. There are many science-related shows on television and the internet has many, many links to science pages. Use your own life experiences to answer this question.

In many science museums today, atomic structure is depicted by a model of an atom with a central nucleus surrounded by electrons moving in circular orbits. What is wrong with this view of the atom ...

Let us discuss the education aspect of the global water cycle in two steps first the extended list of potential topics, and then how these topics can be integrated into water and man science museums (section 18.4.2), local exhibitions (section 18.4.3), teaching at schools (section 18.4.4), and teaching at universities (section 14.4.5). The topics are by and large elucidated in the present book. 

Such institutions are a must in major cities, and it will be most interesting to see how diverse they can be. The wide topic of the global water cycle and the close relation of man to water provide a master outline for a specific type of geological science museum.

The other suggestion I want to make is that there is another venue for communicating to the broader community the notion that people who do science are not restricted to the ones that look like you and me. I am specifically speaking of museums. Every major metropolitan area has significant science museums, and smaller areas have them as well. Museum growth is spectacular in this country.

Boerhaave s name still lives on in the Netherlands. In Leiden we find the Boerhaave History of Science Museum, a statue opposite the hospital, a chemist called after the famous physician, and even an abortion clinic bearing Boerhaave s name Almost every respectable town in the country has a street called after Boerhaave and in orthodox Calvinist circles the name Boerhaave stands for the only real Christian doctor the Dutch have ever known. Herman Boerhaave deserves the attention of historians and this book is an attempt to understand the driving motives of some of Boerhaave s intellectual endeavours.
