Research Project: Chemistry Is Funny! Your job with this paper/presentation is to find cartoons (the paper kind, not the film kind!) that make a scientific fact funny. How is this educational? You much also explain WHY the cartoon is funny. An example is the cartoon that says, "Never trust an atom. They make up everything." That is funny because everything is made up of atoms, but the cartoon is worded so that it sounds like atoms lie!
