Quark Teacher Resources

Students explain that the Standard Model of the atom includes particles beyond protons, neutrons, and electrons. They describe the nucleus as conglomeration of quarks that manifest themselves as protons and neutrons.

In this atom worksheet, students review the structure of an atom. Students also explore radioactive elements and quarks. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank, 6 true or false, 1 short answer, and 3 multiple choice questions.

No one was actually there to see the birth of the universe, but years of collaboration between physicists and mathematicians allow us to glimpse all but a fraction of a second of it. A narrated journey shows the phase changes...

In this math puzzle worksheet, students will reduce a series of fractions to their lowest terms. Then students will use the code provided to decipher the puzzle.

Young scholars explore magnetic fields. In this science lesson, students create a magnetic field using electricity. Young scholars observe the effect of a magnetic field on the compass needle.

Young writers design and publish a newsletter with articles that demonstrate knowledge of mathematical concepts. They explain mathematical procedures and basic operations in a news article format. Next, they compile several articles to...

Scientists can't just change a neutron to a proton, can they? Although they don't have control of this process yet, they have identified the weak force that does exactly that. The simple graphics in an interesting video explain the...

Chemistry classes will appreciate this color-coded, single-page reference sheet for The Standard Model of particle physics. It is divided into two main sections: elementary particles and compound particles, both with their antiparticles....

The hydrogen in your body is exactly the same as the hydrogen in the sun. The video explains just how small an atom is and offers comparisons, such as the one above, to help facilitate understanding. It also presents the current model of...

How can something come from nothing? The Big Bang Theory has an answer to that question. An installment in the Kurzgesagt playlist outlines the theory of the origin of the universe. It includes an explanation of the evidence that...

The past, the present, and the future ... there's so much to discover about the galaxy. Scholars learn about the creation of the universe, its current structure, and how it is changing. The PowerPoint presentation begins with a...

How, and where, did the scientific process as we know it begin? Journey back through time with the introductory video from Crash Course's History of Science series. The resource highlights what people do and don't know about the world,...

On this physics handout, pupils read about the Hadron Collider used to make new sub-atomic particles by accelerating protons. They solve 6 math problems that include translating electron volts to Joules. This is geared toward high school...

Here is a good lesson which aptly describes how to do the classic "Oobleck" lab with your young scientists. Unfortunately, the "Oobleck Investigation Sheet" in the plan doesn't open. However, this is a very clear description about how to...

Learners read a script that helps them understand the ins and outs of consumerism. They watch a video (not included), and engage in two additional activities. The lesson engages critical thinking skills and brings awareness to the...

AP Physics scholars will be excited to find this review of electrostatics as they prepare for the AP exam. Fast-paced, interesting, and comprehensive, the video also includes test-taking tips and common misconceptions.

Is your class struggling with Newton's Second Law? Then show them a presentation that covers everything physics scholars need to know about forces. Starting with gravity, the slides focus on Newton's Laws of Motion, and end with an...

Zombies eat your brain, and so do prions. The video explains the similarities between zombies and prions. It then focuses on the way prions form, spread, and the dangers associated with them. It concludes with common prion illnesses and...

There is a force stronger than electricity or gravity, so scientists named it the strong force. The video continues the explanation of the strong force and the way it works. It also describes the limitations, such as only working in very...

Start this lesson with a bang! The eighth in a 13-part series of lessons explains the origin of elements beginning with the Big Bang Theory. The reading describes the formation of elements hydrogen through uranium.

Much like unicorns, or the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, people have been searching feverishly for the Higgs boson since its existence was first theorized. Part one of two videos shows pupils how scientists knew that the...

Following his video on black holes, a video on supermassive black holes explains what happens when a supermassive stellar object collapses. The video primarily explores the reasons we don't see intermediate black holes, as they can be...
