Learners test their "light-smarts" by playing a game called "Light Quest!" The game board represents an atom and each player represents an electron that has been bumped into the atom's outer unstable

In this activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

In this activity, learners make a black box device that serves as an excellent analogy to Rutherford's famous experiment in which he deduced the existence of the atomic nucleus.

This simple and engaging astronomy activity explains nuclear fusion and how radiation is generated by stars, using marshmallows as a model.

This paper describes a working-model demonstration of Ernest Rutherford's 1911 experiment about the nature of atoms.

In this activity, learners use colored candy to represent subatomic particles and make a model of an atom (Bohr model).

Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.
