Reference excerpt

Radio Active is a Canadian sitcom television series broadcast on YTV, based on the Quebec French series Radio Enfer, about group of students at Upper Redwood High managing their own school radio station, called Radio Active.

Premise Radio Active follows a group of students at Upper Redwood High who have a radio show. Chaos follows as the group try to work together and watching out for the sneaky Ms. Noelle Atoll who always believes they're up to something.

Cast and characters

Main cast Giancarlo Caltabiano as George S. Goodwin III: Known to like Normal Man comics and speaks fondly of his uncle. Though not exactly the most intelligent member of the group, his eccentricity adds variety to the school's radio broadcasts. He has a distinct hairstyle, consisting of many bleached-blond spikes which have been shown to be sharp and hard enough to pierce apples. Lucinda Davis as Tanya Panda: Tanya is quiet and enjoys reading horoscopes. She often tries to make peace among the group. She and Morgan are best friends. Melissa Galianos as Morgan Leigh: Morgan is the productive, witty and reliable one in the group. She strives to get perfect grades and frequently clashes with Kevin, Roger, and Blair. Vik Sahay as Kevin Calvin (Season 1): The captain of the hockey team and all around average jock. He has a big ego and speaks often of the babes of Upper Redwood High. Kevin is frequently the target of Ms Atoll's ire. Michael Yarmush as Ethan St. John (Season 1): Ethan fears Miss Atoll and frequently sucks up to her. He admires Kevin's ability to attract girls and appears to have a slight crush on Morgan. Ryan Wilner as Roger Richards (seasons 2–3): Roger is one of, if not the most, intelligent of the group. He always gets good marks and is known to suck up to Ms. Atoll. However, he is notably uncool and can be somewhat self-centred. Andrew Walker as Blair Resnicky (seasons 2–3): An athletic, arrogant, dim-witted new student who joins Radio Active. He is quite popular with the girls at Upper Redwood and his macho attitude frequently clashes with Morgan. Robert Higden as Angus B. Noseworthy: The Vice Principal in charge of discipline, however is laid back and has no self-discipline. He often begins a speech with "I remember when I was your age,...". He and Ms. Atoll attended Upper Redwood as students when they were still in high school. Susan Glover as Noelle Atoll: The supervising teacher in charge of Radio Active, whom the group dislikes. Ms. Atoll is an English teacher and tends to hand out multiple detentions for those who work at Radio Active. Vanessa Lengies as Sarah Leigh: Morgan's little sister, who constantly annoys and interrupts the group. Mostly noted for her mail delivery on roller blades.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Radio Active (TV series)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Radio Active (TV series) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Radio Active (TV series) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Radio Active (TV series) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Radio Active (TV series)

In research: Radio Active (TV series) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Radio Active (TV series) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Radio Active (TV series) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1990s Canadian high school television series, 1990s Canadian teen sitcoms, 1998 Canadian television series debuts, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Radio Active (TV series) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
