Yesterday we learned about atoms and while we were talking about the atoms we wondered how small they were. Did you know that if you had a grapefruit full of atoms you would have to make it the size of planet earth to be able to see the atoms? And if you did that each atom would only be the size of a blueberry! That’s crazy right? And even if now you could see the atom you would still need to make that blueberry the size of a football stadium to be able to see the nucleus. (Nucleus = the center of the atom, made of protons and neutrons.) Did you know that even if an atom was the size of a football stadium the nucleus would be the size of a marble! That’s how small atoms are!
