Technology: Atoms and Galaxies

Today in class we did a Nearpod about how small atoms are and how big the universe is. I was amazed about how small each atom is and the nucleus inside each atom. I was also amazed at how large our solar system is and the universe around it. I thought the things we learned were really awesome. One thing we learned is if a grapefruit was filled with atoms, you would need to enlarge the grapefruit to be the size of the earth to see one atom, which would be a blueberry. To see the nucleus inside that, you need to enlarge that one blueberry to the size of a football field and on the fifty yard mark, the nucleus would be the size of a marble! I can’t wait to see what we learn next.
