How Small Can You Cut?

Description

In this lesson, learners cut paper into very small pieces to explore the small size of quarks, the smallest thing we know of on Earth. Learners attempt to cut a 28-cm-long by 1-cm-wide strip of paper in half, as many times as possible. Use this activity to introduce learners to quarks and how particle physicists study and manipulate super small matter.
