Shame on us…..
Here at THE BLOG we’ve received hundreds of comments delivering a digital dopeslap for our failure to celebrate March 31st. A day crucial to all Science teachers.
The birthday of Robert Bunsen…inventor of the bunsen burner.
No, not him…
That’s right. Robert B Bunsen ( the statue)
How many adolescents’ introduction to the scientific method began with inquiries like ” How high can I make the flame go ?” and ” Will it blow up ?” How many science teachers have yelled, ” Don’t play with the gas lines !”
Well Robert Bunsen is the man to thank.
Here’s the Google Doodle that was posted:
Happy belated birthday , Robert Wilhelm Eberhard Bunsen, from The BLOG.
I never realized that the inventor of the Bunsen burner actually had been immortalized in a statue. Quite impressive!
