This TED video was about a cartoon scientist explaining to the viewers how small an atom is. He uses a grapefruit and tell us if we blow up each atom to the size of a blueberry, the amount of blueberries would be the about the same size as Earth! He then explains how small each nucleus are; telling us that the atom would need to be the same size as a football field for the nucleus to appear as a marble. It was a really interesting video and I learned some new things that I haven't learned before.
- According to the video, how many cars worth of total nuclei do you need to fill up a box (which tells us the density of the nucleus)?
- What size would the nucleus of an atom when blown up the size of a football field?
- What is an atom mostly made of?
- What are inside the nucleus?
- What are the things called circling the nucleus?
