What you will learn from this video What you will learn

Everything around us is made of atoms and molecules.

An atom is the basic unit of an element. It consists of protons, neutrons and electrons.

Atoms can combine to form molecules as simple as water or as complex as DNA.

What three types of particles make up an atom? What are their charges?

How is a carbon atom different from a hydrogen atom?

What is the Rutherford experiment? How did it work and what did it show?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
All matter is made of atoms, which are made of protons, neutrons and electrons. Atoms combine to form molecules. Watch the many examples in this video.

MS and HS Lessons for quantum from APS

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This kit was created in partnership with American Physics Society’s (APS) Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (DAMOP) and the Division of Quantum Information (DQI). These lessons explore the strange and exciting world of quantum physics and the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales. Students engage in hands-on activities that reveal how atoms form matter, how light interacts with nanomaterials, and how photons help us understand energy and color. Through games and models, they investigate the quantum principles of superposition, entanglement, and teleportation, then apply this understanding to learn the basics of quantum computing. Together, these experiences introduce students to the “future state” of physics - quantum science.
