Subject: Can anyone help?
I need extra credit in Chemistry and Mr. Vree said that I could write a detailed report on Schrodinger and the Quantum Mechanical Model. I made an attempt, and explained it in a single paragraph. I don't know to extend it, make it into an amusing story, or relate it to something practical to show I understand it. Here is the paragraph I wrote in case you don't know what this stuff is, or if you want to build off it. That is, if you're willing to help.

Prodigiously intelligent, Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrodinger is known for his hypothesis of the Quantum Mechanical Model. Taking off from Neils Bohr’s model showing that electrons are in circular paths around the nucleus, Schrodinger determined that the electrons do not move in defined paths, but move from place to place randomly, while remaining in the same relative vicinity. An electron microscope picture shows dots where the electrons are predicted to be. The denser the dots, the greater the probability that there is an electron in that area. It is impossible to find the exact location of an electron.

Any ideas? Pleeasse.

You could tell more about the Quantum Medical Model.

Here's a website that might help a little more.

Oooh, extra credit. I really need to do some of that.

I'd help you, but I don't know a damn thing about it.

prodigious is a horrible word. Try to work in more happy words, like pickle, and lightbulb.

Try an extended metaphor to relate the model to, something really out there....

Like you know how they have the plum pudding model, and the chocolate chip cookie model....

something like that....

and then make it.
I bet you'd get a lot of extra credit for that.
