Quark Teacher Resources

This article explores the life and discoveries of Murray Gell-Mann.

The Committee on Elementary-Particle Physics, part of the U.S. National Research Council, presents this massive report on particle physics. It's a definitive document. Surprisingly readable, totally detailed. Start with the Table of...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Investigates fundamental particles and their discovery, and how they relate to fundamental forces.

A detailed explanation of the Higgs Boson particle and the science of particle physics. Discusses the history of the search for this particle, the ongoing research with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Europe, and what is known so...

The different units used to measure metric length are described, with comparisons to real world objects. A wonderful number line also shows the relative sizes of things all the way from a quark to the universe in powers of ten.

A thorough review of subatomic particles and the people that discovered them. Each particle has its own link for additional information.

Univ of Kentucky research projects address "What is the structure of the nucleon and how do its various interactions and excitations reveal the properties of its constituents?". QCD, the four forces, and nucleon-nucleon interactions are...

The three basic particles that make up atoms are defined and illustrated.

Use this site to learn about the four forces of nature. Also learn what determines the strength of a force. This question and answer site is a link of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

This Nobel E-Museum contains a brief biography of nobel laureate Murray Gell-Mann, summarizing the various research positions he held through his career.

A classroom wiki where students present profiles of scientists who developed models of the atom or who contributed to the understanding of atomic theory. Covers Democritus, Aristotle, John Dalton, J.J. Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, Marie...

Short and sweet definition and explanation of hyperons in the particle zoo. Nice info about time dilation making hyperon beams useful.

Report of hyperon beams used for "spectroscopy of charmed strange baryons and exotic multiquark states". These experiment(s) "aims at the better understanding of charm and baryon production and their decay properties governed by an...
