Instructional Ideas

  • Have pupils create note cards for each subatomic particle and decide how they would sort them

Classroom Considerations

  • Must create a free CK-12 account to access the interactive
  • Part of the simulation relies on color differentiation, which might not work for students who are color blind

Pros

  • Includes links to four related lessons, videos, or simulations for those needing further exploration
  • Walk through video briefly explains the colors, and anti-colors, in the hadron forest

Cons

  • None
