The Basic Structure of the Atom
The Basic Structure of the Atom | Chemistry and Our Universe: How it All Works
This is another video I found that goes into more detail as to the structure of the atom.

What do atoms look like?
This video was on the sidebar when I was looking at the video in the previous post. As we are about STEM and I don't want to give the impression the group is about the really hard core science stuff or computer stuff, this video is more down to earth and should help with GCSE or A'Level science.
I am actually more interested in Science than computers anyway.
Discuss further
We can perhaps discuss more on Matrix or at a future STEM group event.
Another good place to discuss topics such as this is Science Forums.
Once we start getting a larger community both in person and virtually, then discussions can become more in-depth as there will hopefully be a greater pool of expertise.

DNA Base Models
So to carry on with my project to build molecular models. I have built the 4 main base molecules associated with DNA
So the following is are based on the structures in the above infographic
Note:I ran out of 3 bond nitrogens while building these, so at least one has a 4 bond nitrogen, so this explains if there is what looks like a stray bond.
I have now built a DNA model from popsicle sticks, cardboard, string and glue. The bases are colour coded and labelled, to match the molecule models they represent.
