An example of a teaching analogy:
"Energy Levels are like a Stick Shift
According to the Bohr Model, electrons can only exist in particular energy levels around the nucleus. This is like a stick shift on an automobile … it only works when it is in 1st gear, 2nd gear, etc., – and not at any in between position."
