These videos are NOT required, but do offer a different perspective on the topic if that helps!
Al Amzurek Ill - A professional documentary segment that discusses the life and work of Neils Bohr, and how his model changed physics and chemistry. Features the prominent physicist Michio Kaku!
Fuse School - a different perspective on how to fill electrons into the Bohr Model. Nice vid quality.
Fuse School - A vid that covers the e-configs for the first 20 elements. THis helps to ID some patterns in how elelctrons fill.
chemistNATE - a few examples of filling Bohr Model diagrams

Written Content
The links below are sites with written descriptions of this content. Some prefer to learn from reading rather than watching. If that helps you these resources can be useful!
ThoughtCO - A discussion of how the Bohr Model works as well as its strengths and weaknesses. This text does NOT cover filling rules!
Libre Texts - Here is a discussion of the filling rules!
Lumen - A pretty detailed discussion of the success of the Bohr model over previous models of the atom, including its ability to support the Rydberg formula that describes the energy released for specific electron jumps between levels. Definitely beyond expectations for class, but interesting!

Lab Activity
Part 1: Identify the shapes of the different orbitals created by the Wave Equation!
Complete this part on one side of your paper or an electronic doc where you can get a little artsy!
This website shows all the different solutions to the Schrodinger Wave Equation by plotting the new shape of each orbital. Remember, these orbitals are the new homes of electrons in the atom, replacing the rings of the Bohr Model.
Read through the document to get a basic idea of how these orbitals work and why they have different shapes. This content will be challenging. Do the best you can and ask questions!
Draw diagrams of ALL of the orbitals. Group them by orbital type: s, p, d, and f.
You should have 16 total pics.
Part 2: Arts and Crafts time!
Pick an element from the 3rd or 4th row on the periodic table.
With your paper in 'landscape,' fold it in half so you have two large squares side by side.
Put heading for Bohr and Schrodinger on the two halves of your paper.
Draw a picture of what this atom would look like if it was perfectly described by the Bohr model on one half of your paper. Your pic is more about what the atom would look like and less about being an electron configuration diagram. Be a little artistic!
Draw a picture of a Schrodinger Model atom by taking pics of the individual orbitals and putting them on top of one another.
Each orbital pic has a spot in the center where the nucleus is.
Each orbital can hold 2 electrons.
Stack orbitals on top of one another to create a pretty complex pic. Do the best you can!
