Description
The random movement of pollen grains in a suspension as seen through a microscope is shown. The motion is due to the random motion of millions of atoms or molecules on relatively large particles (...now called Brownian motion). This is followed by a mechanical analogy using pucks on an air-table showing the underlying reason for the random motion of the particles.
